I got an email from someone who read my post about the arrest of the guy wanting to blow up a shopping mall:

—
This moron actually wrote that stuff to you????

Good grief.

On the other hand, flying schools (and the FBI) didn’t seem to think it strange that people wanted to learn how to fly, but not to land.

I get LOTS of email from morons asking how to build bombs.  I try my best to discourage it but, well, they are morons.

Read these pages for example morons:

http://www.boomershoot.org/general/BombHelp.htm
http://www.boomershoot.org/general/BombHelp2003.htm
http://www.boomershoot.org/general/BombHelp2002.htm
http://www.boomershoot.org/general/BombHelp2001.htm
http://www.boomershoot.org/general/BombHelp2000.htm

And those are just the ones that actually bother to write.  So far this month I have received 145 hits (that about 10 hits/day) from people looking for help making a bomb.  I have all their IP addresses and their search query phrases — stuff like:
