there are serious problems with Steven Jones' work, whether you want to see it or not:

1) the first is the provennace of the "samples". If NIST were that careless about such an important detail, you'd scream bloody murder.
2) Thermite, in whatever form, is NOT an explosive, it's an incendiary. Put learning the difference between the two on your "research" list.
3) Thermite is also used in welding and cutting, so finding "thermite" in whatever form on a huge construction site is really underwhelming.
4) Jones' work was so suspect that he and his "team" had to pay to put it on the Bentham site. When the editor of that site found that Jones' "paper" was appearing there, she promptly resigned and castigated the publisher. Simple question: why can't Jones get his "paper" published in a reputable scientific journal with proper peer review.
5) Close examination of "chips" reveals a structure more closely resembling paint chips.

You can be a science-denier all you want, dude. Just don't expect rational people to buy your goofy bullshit.
