So now we are to spend the next six or eight months putting instructions on how to build pipe bombs in our .sigs, reading endless analyses of how the "Antiterrorism and Safety Act of 1996" is unconstitutional, following the CDA-type emergency challenge mounted by VTW/ACLU/NRA, and wondering who will be arrested first. Fuck them. Fuck Swinestein, Klinton, Gingrich, and all the rest. And fuck Dole. (On second thought, don't--it might not be a survivable experience.) I say they've all earned only our contempt. It's time to accelerate our efforts to undermine this foolish experiment in pandering to the masses. --Tim May Buy a section of metal water pipe 1/2 by 6 inches long, threaded on both ends. Buy two metal caps to fit. These are standard items in hardware stores. Drill a 1/16th hole in the center of the pipe. This is easy with a good drill bit. Hanson is a good brand to use. Screw a metal cap tightly on one end. Fill the pipe to within 1/2 inch of the top with black powder. Do not pack the powder. Don't even tap the bottom of the pipe to make it settle. You want the powder loose. For maximum explosive effect, you need dry, fine powder sitting loose in a very rigid container.

Unsurvivable for which party?

A long time ago.

Tell us how o' wise one.

What about fusing? Mechinical detonation with a shotgun shell, or electrical with a model rocket engine? Petro, Christopher C. petro@suba.com <prefered for any non-list stuff> snow@smoke.suba.com

And be *real, real careful* when screwing the second cap on the pipe. Brush any powder off the screw threads on the pipe with a fine-bristled brush. Also, watch out for static electricity. Use a flash bulb as a detonator.
