Knife can be leathal also. You can make sudden attack or from behind! You dont have to be strong for that. And a cutted throat is very effective. Believe me.

And you dont need c4 to have explosives. There are a lot of things in housholds which are couse explosions when mixed!

You can make an improvised pipe bomb with match heads.
Add some broken glass in it and it is pretty much as effective as a grenade.
also you can use match powder as a propellent for an improvised gun.

Congratz. 1 person. Then others notice and you get overpowered. A gun causes a lot more chaos. Usually people run away.

Very few kids are going to learn that in chemistry class or know that offhand. If they look up 'how to make a bomb' online, they get tracked by the police.

Another matter of procuring the materials. Then again it really isn't so hard; lone wolf terrorists have been known to obtain even radioactive material from chemical companies.

Forget that making bombs is extremely dangerous. Plus, the thing is that if one bomb goes off accidentally, you probably will not get a second chance to make another mistake. Actually, you can be pretty sure that eventually a bomb will blow up in your face. But whatever.
Making bombs without getting seriously hurt is not as easy as it seems.

Do you think a troubled guy determined to blow **** up gives a rat's behind about his own safety

No, but what he was stating was that the likelihood of people succeeding in making effective bombs without professional training/aid is highly unlikely.

U don't need a professionally made bomb to hurt people.
Tape cigarette to a glass bottle, fill it with anything flamable,light the cigarette, throw it and enjoy.

Right, and terrorists will want to limit themselves to such relatively harmless devices?

In effect, proving his point, by running head first like a deranged madman into embracing such allegations that are flippant idiocy. Really? You never fail to astound me. In a negative way of course.

Are you reffering to me? Let's see crazy things I have done:
Running full speed into a wall and survive,
eating spaghetti with coke in it,
nearly crushing a persons arm for stealing my food,
having half a dozen guns in my back closet.
The list will go on and on. So is there some idiocy in there? Yes, yes there is.:P
