TNT has actually pretty low energy density - lower than chocolate chip cookies if I remember correctly. It's only used because of its ability to deliver it all in one go - something cookies lack. Energy density alone is a fairly inadequate metric to decide how dangerous some material is, and what precautions to take handling and transporting it.
