Dunno if ammonium nitrate would burn. Could be wrong. Potassium nitrate is used by farmers too, that will oxidise aluminium and steel nicely, turned the whole thing into one giant flare. Potassium nitrate, or potash is the oxidiser in black gunpowder and solid fuel rockets. Ammonium nitrate is used as a plastic explosive. Normally needs a shock wave to set it off. I believe American soldiers used to burn C4 as a camp fire fuel in Vietnam, it's that benign.
That's just speculation. I'm not sure there's a reason to carry lots of that in a plane, I would have thought you would normally truck it
