Dry ice bomb was not an explosive or an explosive device. — Where defendant had two bottles of dry ice and two gallon jugs of water; defendant admitted that defendant was going to a desert area to detonate a dry ice bomb; and dry ice bombs result from the expansion of gases, rather than by fire or burning, a dry ice bomb is neither an "explosive" nor an "explosive device" and is not prohibited by Section 30-7-19.1 NMSA 1978.
