Replace your Sodium Or Lithium by petrol or gas, and your comment would have been typical in the beginning of the 20 century.

We are all sitting on ‘minibombs’ since we developed cars and personal devices with batteries. That is the point of those objects, to carry an extremely dense storage of energy in order to operate. And indeed, that is the basic premise of a bomb, concentrate high amounts of energy in a small volume, but similarities stop there. Human development has made those devices extremely safe to use, fortunately.
