A home handyman is building a missile in his garage with parts bought over the Internet and shipped through Customs. Bruce Simpson has stated on his website that he intends to construct "cruise missiles", which are taking shape in his shed near Auckland. Security experts say the ease with which Mr Simpson has obtained parts and built a working jet-engine is a warning that such weapons could be built by the wrong people. They are divided over whether the missile plans he has posted online encourage terrorism or simply raise awareness that the technology is widely available. Mr Simpson, a 49-year-old internet developer, stated on the website www.interestingprojects.com on April 29 that he would build a cruise missile. http://stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,2518801a10,00.html
omg hes got some guts! It will be funny to be his neighbour and see a cruise missle firing out of his shed at 380kmh
Isn't this kinda hopeless? I mean, he can't really test it, right? If he'd test it, there could occur problems with the engine and it might fall down into someones house, or he has to go to a very large desert, but still, would he really want his precious machine that cost him $5000 crash down in a desert?
No no, see, hes gonna park it, unarmed, in his backyard, straight up, to keep them dam kids down the block from playing zz top
lol, I like how it would be so easy for the wrong people to build multiple missiles but one guy can't build one without the entire world noticing... Besides. I bet I could do a helluva lot more damage w/ $5000 by purchasing more explosive and less silicon. Sure, someone might be able to build a cruise missile, so what? "It's not the bullet with your name on it you have to worry about, it's the shrapenel marked 'To: Occupant' that you have to watch for."
