So does Senator Feinstein's proposed bill against publishing
bomb information on the Internet cover this?
How about the currrent Munitions Export Laws on Technical Assistance?
Abstract: Take big pieces of concrete. Drop them out of airplanes on people.
Detailed: Put 50 bags of Sack-Krete in a Dumpster. Add water and stir,
wait till it dries. This kind can be _rolled_ out of airplanes.
Harmful-For-Minors-Version: You can drop cinder-blocks off bridges instead.
Encryption-Penalty-Enhancer-Hint: If you steal the cinder blocks, they
can't trace them back to you and you don't have to file off the serial
numbers.
