tw, the majority of C4/Semtex sued today is manufactured in Checelovakia of all places, and is pretty easy to get hold of.

Semtex (and I thought it started with 'C') is a Checkoslovakian product. C4 is American. Semtex was easier to obtain during the Cold War. Today, it is not (suppose to be) easily obtained.

C4/Semtex and other equivalents are not easily manufactured. Nitrate based explosives are easy, but not as destructive in 10 oz quantities. It is why such 'military' explosives are suppose to be tightly controlled. Which again asks about the silence - a bag full of C4 in the Philadelphia Bus Terminal. Why the silence?
