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

his ideas do not flow logically. If I were a composition teacher with a red pen, his article would look like a butcher block.

For example, a questionable factoid about computer viruses makes no sense next to an Andrew Hessel quote about future cancer therapy. The quote is also taken far enough out of context that it makes it seem that AH is talking about generating custom viruses for less than a buck that give people cancer.

"For a law enforcement officer"?  Have you ever known a cop?
Presumption of guilt is their M.O.  I've had a few friends who are
police officers - their line of work makes them deeply cynical and
suspicious of everyone.  I once was told by a cop that he was
*absolutely certain* that a kid had weed based solely on the kind of
car he was driving.  I am not surprised at all that a law enforcement
officer would take the attitude that Goodman did.

This is not to say that L.E. officers are bad people - they're simply
a product of their line of work.  They spend their entire workday
dealing with criminals; it should hardly be a surprise that this would
color their perspective.
