Strike anywhere matches, gunpowder, sandpaper, and a tennis ball. . .
When I was a kid we used to make tennisball bombs out of them. It was tricky cause you had to scrape some of the matchheads off with a wooden spatula very carefully so it didn't ignite. They wouldn't damage anything. . much. . .but they made a great flash when you threw 'em.
with a little creativity, a coffee can, gunpowder, sand paper, and a strike anywhere match, you can also make a pretty effective land mine. . .
so yeah, they can be dangerous as hell. That said, I don't see where they'd need to be phased out. Bleach and aluminum foil can be dangerous too if you do the wrong things with 'em.
