Cooking With Thermite

Man I cracked up when I read this headline! Thanks for the laugh!
Here's a vid :

It appears it may be best to try this outside, no?
So how did they acquire thermite? Not that I want any, I just wouldn't think that is something you just pick up.
I can just hear the conversation,"we need some thermite for our bird." "Sure," says the vendor as he is hitting the Homeland Security button.

Peace,

Nah! Do it inside on an I-beam, preferably in a large building.

how did they acquire thermite?

Method 1:

Step 1: Drop some iron in salt water, and run a current through it.
Step 2: Scrape the rust off.
Step 3: File down an aluminum pipe into powder using a fine-tooth metal file.
Step 4: Mix these two powders.

Congratualations, you now have thermite.

Method 2:

Buy it for a couple dollars per pound.

Congratulations, you now have thermite.

I just wouldn't think that is something you just pick up.

Why? How difficult is it to purchase gasoline? That can be dangerous too.
