"Could you imagine getting hold of these URL's and wanting to pull a few pranks?"
That's the whole dilemma. It's similar to someone being able to spoof a phone number in order to call in bomb threats to a police agency.
The problem here is that FBI is actually promoting the ability and the tactics to smear someone else.
I'm glad they are doing this to capture pedophiles. On the other hand there are many other ways to capture criminals that don't PROMOTE criminal behavior.
For the past year or so it was being spammed and the only thought I could muster was "damn; Americans are ****ing stupid."
In all fairness, however, many Americans would have expected to be protected by the FCC. I guess the CEO of this company knows this and was able to pull a quick one off to his benefit before litigation.
The company being named "Blue Hippo" to me is a reference to the mindset of the company basically saying "We can name some god aweful scam 'blue hippo' and get away with it! Damn; Americans are stupid!" hahahahha ----> bank
Not long. A failed bunker bomb would still prepare the way for a nuke strike as well as provide priceless amounts of one-time real-time logistical results data.
"30 or 40 feet of extra concrete may even do a nice job of keeping the shoke wave underground" -- Even better to seal the whole deal if you can get it to collapse.
Education is the simplest and more realistic solution.
If everyone had a huge incentive to use circular saws, would we then require everyone to be licensed for saw use, or would we just make sure that people were properly trained in school?
This mentality needs also to be applied to gun use in America. If it works for birth control why won't it work for guns?
The underlying issue is that everyone believes everyone else is stupid, yet few will recommend education. Ironic really.
Too late, Andy. A couple years ago or so some Palestinian militants talked a kid into strapping on bombs to walk to a checkpoint to blow up. Thankfully the scared-shitless Police were able to get him to take it off and what not without any deaths.

"Israeli media described Abdo as a "mentally challenged" boy while his brother, Hosni, said that Abdo "has the intelligence of a 12 year old."
Unfortunately his Mother is just as ignorant.
"If he was over 18, that would have been possible, and I might even encourage him to do it. But it's impossible for a child his age to do it."
