Don,

Wrong about dynamite in what way? Are you saying it won't melt or won't burn? In simplistic terms,
dynamite is desensitized nitroglycerine, requiring a mechanical shock to cause detonation

Not to worry about static and TNT. You can play a blowtorch on it and it will only melt and burn,
not detonate. Same with dynamite, except it will only make a nice fire, not melt.

Right about TNT, C4, PETN, RDX, tetrytol and other military HE but
wrong about dynamite.
