I first learned of Thermite when I read The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey. I can't say that I like that guy, given the encouragement he gave to domestic hippy-terrorists.
I don't have any experience with it, but it appears that prudent folks would insist on proper safety training before using it.
AH YES, thermite! We had "sensitive" electronic equipment wired with thermite to destroy it & prevent capture & use by enemy forces.

Even more to the point - considering it can melt cast iron prudent folks should COMPLETELY avoid it!
