Key components are 6 grams of white pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and "highly flammable material" as a detonator. PETN was developed in 1906, and is accessible to more advanced hobby chemists.

So we have explosive device that passes through airport security scanner. And can be made at home by dedicated individuals... What are the implications for air travel?
