John [please keep this private, OK?], Your spilling the beans about my work on stuff a lot more powerful than ordinary munitions is possibly dangerous to our work. You said: At 9:22 AM -0700 8/25/97, John Young wrote:
Now we turn the target-finder over to Mr. Tim May and those anonymees worldwide who wish to ... lock and load, wait, not guns, even more powerful munitions to penetrate through thick skulls who are convinced they're the smartest bastards on earth with the biggest CPUs run by tiniest algos to prove it.
These even more powerful munitions are not quite ready for distribution or use, yet. I contacted via Blacknet one of the main developers of SBER (Synthetic Bond Energy Release) pyrophoric explosives, and he/she is willing to sell what the Lab has developed for a bit more than what the Russkies, practically starving down there at the SBER facility in Yukutzagorodok. It's certainly a lot easier driving over the hill than making the run through TJ to Ankara and then up to Yukutz, even with the new passport. Those "bunker busters" will be a valuable addition to our arsenal. Sort of make McVeigh look like a weenie. But the guy at the Lab is talking about leaving and working for one of the Valley companies, just as you so presciently described, so we have to move fast. I think modelling our efforts after the "DES Crack" could help raise the funds needed to buy this technology. We could call it the "White House Crack." -- There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.
