The inert electric blasting caps must be X-ray and CTX equivalent. The inert electric blasting caps must be the same consistency as actual explosive electric blasting caps, to include size, shape, color, weight, appearance, construction, smell, and touch. The inert blasting caps should not alert as PETN, RDX or other explosive when sampled during explosive analysis using a TSA approved explosive trace detection unit such as the Ionscan 400B or other similar ETD unit. 6) QTY-25: Inert non-electric blasting caps made to military and/or equivalent specifications. The inert non-electric blasting caps must be X-ray and CTX equivalent. The inert non-electric blasting caps must be the same consistency as actual explosive electric blasting caps, to include size, shape, color, weight, appearance, construction, smell, and touch. The inert blasting caps should not alert as PETN, RDX or other explosive when sampled during explosive analysis using a TSA approved explosive trace detection unit such as the Ionscan 400B or other similar ETD unit. 7) QTY-1: 5 meters of inert safety fuse (Time Fuse) made to military specifications. The inert safety fuse must be X-ray and CTX equivalent. The inert safety fuse must be the same consistency as actual safety fuse, to include size, shape, color, weight, appearance, construction, smell, and touch. The safety fuse should not alert as nitrate, nitroglycerin or other explosive when sampled during explosive analysis using a TSA approved explosive trace detection unit such as the Ionscan 400B or other similar ETD unit. 8) QTY 5: Inert ? lb cast boosters made to military specifications. The inert ? lb cast boosters must be X-ray and CTX equivalent. The inert ? lb cast boosters must be the same consistency as actual ? lb cast boosters to include size, shape, color, weight, appearance, construction, smell, and touch. The inert ? cast boosters should not alert as nitroglycerin, RDX, PETN or other explosive when sampled during explosive analysis using a TSA approved explosive trace detection unit such as the Ionscan 400B or other similar ETD unit.
