In Utah, simple possession of a dry ice bomb or similar pressurized chemical reaction bomb is a second-degree felony. [16] In Colorado, the creation of a dry ice bomb is considered illegal due to interpretation as "possession of an explosive device" [citation needed] Leaving an unexploded dry ice bomb can be construed as public endangerment.
Dry ice bomb. A "dry ice bomb" is a balloon-like device using dry ice in a sealed container such as a plastic bottle. Water is usually added to accelerate the sublimation of the dry ice. As the dry ice sublimes, pressure increases, causing the bottle to burst with a loud noise.

Arch-conservatives in the Pennsylvania Legislature are claiming that get-out-the-vote efforts from the state's governor and the president represent an unconstitutional power grab.
The problem with the California law is threefold: 1) CO2 is not a chemically reactive substance in the context of a dry ice bomb, 2) as noted above, the law specifies a chemical reaction, whereas this is a physical change of state (see the IUPAC Gold Book for chemical terminology, and 3) the law defines an explosion as sudden release of gas ...
