Nationalise all explosives

( please read my earlier blog " Strong info-structure needed for fighting terrorism." )
The terrorism breeds on easy and uncontrolled access to explosives and explosive component materials.
Explosives are mainly used in construction industry and contractors purchase explosives in open market, store in insecure godowns and give them to workers for excavation activity.
Minor explosives are crackers used for entertainment and are easily available to anybody.
If all explosive materials and products are closely monitored and tagged by RFID like tracking device, the source and men behind explosions can be easily tracked.
Banning use of explosives and relying only on nonexplosive manual methods will increase employment but will not be economical and efficient.
If all explosive operations are nationalized.; ie not only manufacture, storage, distribution, but its actual use also only by employees of national corporate body, better and effective security can be provided.
Thus any excavation work of other work needing explosives can only be handled by designated staff.
I hope if this arrangement is made mandatory for all countries by UNO or international body to fight terrorism, we can significantly reduce terrorist bomb explosions by miscreants.
