Toronto (Canada) city council is debating a by-law to ban informatio on bomb construction. This after one of the council members was mailed a faulty (or fake) pipe-bomb. Rough quote: ~This is different than the gun control issue because there is no valid use for bombs.~
Bombs are used by building demolition teams, excavation workers and (believe it or not) there are even a few artists who use explosives to create their particular brand of art. I won't even mention 4th of July fireworks and the creators thereof. Granted, not many people fall into these catagories, but does that mean that the rest of us are entirely un-interested in how they work. A student of physics might be interested in the physics of a falling building... Okay, I reaching, but the possibility exists!
