Salutes are a mixture of black powder (or equivalent, I like Pyrodex because it's more powerful and smoke-free,) and magnesium dust that flash bright white and produce a distinct report.
The ironic thing about fireworks laws is that people like me will just make what they can't buy. At least I have the good sense to set them off in remote areas where I'm unlikely to be reported for acts of terrorism or injure anyone other than myself in case of an accident.
