Me, either. Nitroglycerin and dynamite are the same thing, the latter being a stabilized form of nitro. Nitro's been shown to be uber-super-powerful in too many movies. It's not, merely concentrated. Many newer formulations pack a much harder punch.
Blowing a melon to pieces is not "vapourized" and is achievable with any big firecracker. It would take a much bigger punch to disable an airliner. Even a cherry bomb would only blow out a window or other sensitive point, and most airliners are designed to survive such ruptures. I'd have to see a lot of evidence to believe these "shoe bombers" can do more than demonstrative damage to an airliner. Scary, yes. Fatalities, likely. Downing, probably not.
