No it wouldn't, but they would have had to find another way to learn to  
fly planes.
Their strange behaviour while getting that training almost got them caught  
(sadly only _almost_). A tiny thing here (say a checkup by authorities or  
a psychological test or simply more attention by the three letter club in  
charge) might very well have had a chance to prevent it all.

We will have to give up some conveniences in all this mess, everyone  
understands that, but the key is to introduce reasonable measures that  
will have some decent effect/inconvenience ratio.
For example, it would IMO be acceptable if they asked what you were going  
to do, and required some ID before selling certain chemicals. I have no  
problem with that. I don't think it would be very useful, but if they  
think it helps it is the least i can do.

What i _don't_ consider reasonable is stopping the sale of perfectly  
useful things by making impractical procedures to either buy or sell.  
That's just stupid, because then we could just stop doing anything at all  
so we don't get hurt.

Indeed it is. But there's nothing we can do about this, _especially_ in  
this forum.
Since i doubt we can gain world domination to try out our ideas before  
Steve notices i suggest we stop this now. ;-)
