Re: [DIYbio] Fwd: PBS: Downloadable Gun Parts, Personalized Bioterror: the Downside of Innovation

i think that's true, similar to the Convention on Cluster Munitions treaty (adopted in 2008) although Libya used cluster munitions when it went into "scorched earth" mode in 2011. Some countries tend to follow treaties, until they feel like they don't have to, or want. "Non-binding".
