   TNT - nitroglycerin (dynamite) are toxic.   
      
   PATR 2700 [A507]   
      
   "Aunt Jemina" "Explosive was a white powdery material developed in the US   
   during   
   WWII consisting of a mixt of lour with white finely powdered HE which was not   
   sufficiently   
   toxic to hurt a person tasting it. The mixt was insensitive to handling and   
   could be heated   
   (baked) without explg it. It was intended to be shipped ostensibly as flour to   
   neutral   
   countries, where it could be used for purposes of sabotage.

   --------------   
   "not sufficiently toxic to hurt a person tasting it" Does not mean it was not   
   toxic if "eaten"!   
   Sabotage in neutral countries!?   
   WHAT explosive??
