Let’s All Get Scared!

This particular TED talk is disturbing. Printing guns? Printing ebola viruses? Crime networks setting up their own encrypted cell phone networks?

Ugh.

Is the answer a global police force? Hmmm.

    I’m confused. Did he make a replica of a gun? Or is he saying the technology exists for him to produce a functioning one?

    He made a replica one but the insinuation was that eventually real ones could be made. Until they can make real bullets on the fly on the security side of the airport I’ll continue sleeping safely at night.

    The knowledge on how to make your own H5N1 virus has been publicly available for many years now.

    And anthrax isn’t a virus.
