The United States Department of
Transportation (DOT) defines an explosive as a substance fitting into
one of two categories: Any substance or article, including a device,
designed to function by explosion (e.g. an extremely rapid release of
gas and heat) or any substance or article, including a device, which by
chemical reaction within itself, can function in a similar manner even
if not designed to function by explosion, unless the substance or
article is otherwise classified.
