Yet again, the BBC has fallen hook, line and sinker for a load of ridiculous "terror war" hype. So peroxide and flour is "as strong as TNT", eh? Possibly if prepared by chemists with a clue, but flour will only explode as a powder, not as papier-maché glue, and hardware-shop peroxide isn't much use for bomb-making.

Spines For Sale. Going Cheap.
