An alternative question is why would anyone want to blow anything of value up? I can understanding wanting to blow valueless things up - I have many fond memories of being a teenager and trying to blow various things up by various means out in the vacant field behind our house - ; however, wanting to blow something of value up seems to me to be a good indicator that the blower is not of sound mental condition.
