Shit. If the UK government passes this law they are proposing then this email would probably count as illegal. And anonymous postings are often so tedious.
3) Time for ideas to don a bhurka before they go out in the street, to meet in secret places, to avoid the eyes and ears of Mullahs Ashcroft and Blair.

Define "usual"? And explain why that matters. We are discussing low-yield, non-optimized, basement nukes. Little Boy was a gun device, firing a wedge (of some fraction...) into the other piece (sphere minus wedge, other half, whatever). I hate spending cycles on nuke design. See many books--Smythe Report, Ted Taylor's articles, The Progressive, etc.--on issues. The Little Boy design was publicized in the 40s. --Tim May, Citizen-unit of of the once free United States " The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.
