If people are smart they will stay clear of the bomb makers and their type. The ATF is in the process of cracking down and if you are in the way, you will not be for long. - mark buda@star.enet.dec.com ...!decwrl!star.enet.dec.com!buda buda%star.enet.dec.com

Yeah but who REALLY uses bombs that much today? We aren't in Belfast here (at least I'm not). The incidents that happened at some college involving exploding 2-litre bottles is hardly a serious concern. You're right, bomb making is not new. Further, it is not new for most people to act sensibly. If a person has the predisposition to make bombs I can surely tell you that the existence or non-existence of this newsgroup would have little effect on his propensity for, and ability to carry out, destruction etc.. Personally, I have never made any major devices mentioned on this newsgroup and I suspect that most people here haven't either. Yeah, I've filled condoms up with hydrogen etc. but this is not really a problem. People who have the priveledges to play on the computer and learn such esoteric things as pyrotechnics are usually from environements where crime and criminal predisposition are very rare. The authorities should be paying attention to more pressing matters - to specific environments where dangerous activity is far too common. Compared to the number of gun shot deaths, death by bomb has to be exceedingly low. Concentrate where concentration is needed.
