That's ridiculous.

That is ridiculous. Even in the UK, with tight gun laws, I reckon you
could get away with that. When I was in school we had a crazy chemistry
demonstrator who mixed liquid nitrogen with water in a car washer
bottle, screwed on the cap and hurled it to the back of the lecture
theatre, where it exploded. We were 15 and loved it, but gun/terrorism
laws were strict even then, and the guy must have felt legally safe
doing it with about 100 kids.
