Should these be used on an AIRLINE FLIGHT, the plane would ordered to land at the nearest air port the FBI would be called and the user would be arrested. Two students were caught by me and reported to school officials because they were using SNAPS on my school bus this week. I am appalled at the audacity of the behavior for safety and respect of these students. SNAPS>>>>>Silver fulminate, often in combination with potassium chlorate, is used in trick noise-makers known as "crackers", "snappers", "whippersnappers", "pop-its", or "bang-snaps", a popular type of novelty firework. They contain approximately 200 milligrams of fine gravel impregnated with a minute quantity (approximately 80 micrograms) of silver fulminate. When thrown against a hard surface, the impact is sufficient to detonate the tiny quantity of EXPLOSIVE, creating a small report from the supersonic detonation. Snaps are designed to be incapable of producing damage (even when detonated against skin) due to the buffering effect provided by the much greater mass of the gravel medium. It is also the chemical found in Christmas crackers.[5] The chemical is painted on one of two narrow strips of card, with abrasive on the second. When the cracker is pulled the abrasive detonates the silver fulminate.
