...then I understand.
But, cornstarch is not really any more conflagrating than flour, coffee creamer, espresso ground coffee, etc.
And the danger is really caused by densely dispersing it as a cloud.
It's not to be confused with a true explosive.
Having a gas can for the mower in your garage is a far greater danger.
