Explosives and fuzing mechanisms, which are already regulated in many countries.
- arrowsmith 1y agoAnd yet terrorists and other bad actors have still been able to build bombs despite the regulations.

More broadly, perhaps the historic argument that we should care about, eg Somalia, because failed states can enable chaos that crosses borders becomes more true??? (*edit - I mean by hosting factories for illicit materials!)
