We did that at school, putting it around things like door frames so when
someone closed a door there would be a very loud bang. It all sort of
backfired when the head of Chemistry happened to be the one to close the
door one time, it wasn't exactly hard for him to figure out what it was,
and he had a pretty good idea who was responsible...

Today in our increasingly paranoid and scared society you could get put
in prison due to anti-terror legislation for making the stuff, I think :-(
