Got $5000 to burn, build your own WMD

Sci & TechNew Zealand Jet engine consultant claims to be a couple of months away from building his own cruise missle capable of flying 100 miles, carrying a 10kg payload, and hitting within 100 yards of its target. So far he has spent $1200 dollars buying parts from eBay and stores anyone has access to. His web site documents his progress and other engine projects you can complete in the privacy of your own home, cave in afghanistan, forest in Indonesia, or desert in Iraq. I always thought it was chemical weapons that would be easy to create, I guess I was wrong. As he points out, we rely on "security by obscurity" more than anything else. Maybe Ashcroft and Rumsfeld are right in that we need Patriot Act II, miltary tribunals, and the recently leaked Victory Act (that will link low-level drug dealing with Terrorism) as we move towards a New Europe democracy like Bulgaria or Ukraine that Rumsfeld holds in such high regard.

Ok. So let me get this straight. Bushcroft's policy doesn't actually protect us (it's easy to build WMD). So what did we have to give up in order to not improve security? It turns out, a lot. *sigh*
