Dry ice bombs are usually created from a container like plastic bottles, water, and dry ice. The solid carbon dioxide becomes warmer resulting to increase in pressure and limited room to expand.

Can you reuse dry ice?

If you mean the dry ice bomb as in putting dry ice in a bottle and sealing it, and then having it explode, then no. The bottle and the dry ice cannot be reused from the Dry Ice Bomb. The reasoning is that the Dry Ice would have already used enough of its fuel to try to explode the bottle that no fuel is left to explode another, and the bottle would be ripped in half by the Dry Ice inside, so the bottle cannot be reused.

If the ice melts, then because of the density of water, it will implode (Explode INWARD) because of the less particles in the liquid.

How much dry ice per passenger is allowed to be airlifted without certification?

None. Dry ice is considered a hazardous material for air shipments for two reasons: when it sublimates, the carbon dioxide displaces air and can suffocate the people in the plane, including the crew; and an improperly ventilated container of dry ice can explode. The certification isn't hard to do, but it must be done for any size shipment of dry ice. Additionally, the International Air Transport Association does not allow dry ice shipments larger than 200 kilograms per parcel, and the airline must be informed ahead of time that you're shipping dry ice so they can be sure the vents on the airplane work.
