Technology leakage of ballistic missiles is the single largest
threat to the security of the United States. And if for a moment
you would stop and think before speaking such ignorant
statements. You might realize that if the agency with the
responsibility of enforcing such technology protections were
grossly understaffed, it might not have the time to sit and engage
in lengthly arguments with each and every joe blow over his
favorite poster.

And simply ban anything and everything even remotely close
to violation as a time saving measure and with no discussion
allowed.

I find it rather comforting to know that when it comes to
national security our govt errs on the side of caution.

But go ahead anyways, take a stand on this one.

I dare ya!
