8 пороховая бочка
powder keg; smth. threatening smb.'s safetyРукописи не были изданы. Их купили просто для того, чтобы обезоружить этого человека. Голландские купцы и власти не могли чувствовать себя спокойно, пока эта пороховая бочка была не у них в руках. (К. Паустовский, Золотая роза) — But his books never saw light. Thus the offer to publish his works was merely a trick on the part of those in power to curb this staunch rebel whose pen made both the Dutch merchants and the government officials tremble for their safety.
