A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

Thermite isn't really that hard to make, but igniting it can be a cast-iron bitch. Or home-made napalm, for that matter. (It's harder to make, but easier to ignite.)
