It depends.
Looking at it purely from an efficiency perspective, encouraging biological weapon development in humans at a rapid pace - possibly through retroviral techniques - may be more effective than technological devices, if the former is less detectable than the latter, and especially if the former has a lower price point than the latter.
There are multiple variables in play here, and that's not even getting into the ethical considerations.

- jedberg 6y agoAs OP said, detachability. If you have a venom gland, even if you have to go through a metal detector it probably won't be found.
- bovermyer 6y agoWell, to put it another way, why would you devote time towards a hypothetical violent emission of kinetic force from an explosive device when you could more immediately benefit from removing an intelligent obstacle by applying force with a blunt object? E.g. - why research a gun when you could brain someone with a big rock? Seriously, not trying to be condescending here - if you could probably do a thing more effectively down the road with one path, why would you choose a more immediate path?
