No. Gunpowder (smokeless powder) has a different composition than dynamite. BOTH may contain some nitroglycerin, but there the formulas take different paths. However, there IS scientific testing for explosives residue as well as for gunshot residue. Since I work with explosives, this makes air travel and security screening an interesting event for me.
