Dead Bang

[Bob Schroeck]

Oh, I'm fairly sure some things really *shouldn't* be let out - for one counterexample, how about a brew-it-in-your-living-room-with-common-household-ingredients recipe for a nuclear explosion bigger (albeit cleaner) than the ones of World War II?

I'm sure we all can come up with all kinds of imaginary extremes to justify rules of suppression. How about... the instructions to create a 100% lethal self-replicating bioweapon using only Cheerios and old socks? I'd suppress that in a minute, so why not suppress real things, too?
Every technology has its potential for misuse. Why not ban all knives because they're used in stabbings? Forget about how difficult it will be to cook; legitimate uses -- or unexpected positive derivative uses -- are no excuse for leaving dangerous items like that around in any household for any lunatic to find.
