Between 1986 and 1989 the CIA provided about 1000 stinger missiles to the Mujahideen. Only 100-200 have not been bought back or used and those are at least 12 years old and their solid fuel motors by this stage will be very near or past the end of their shelf life.
Russian SA-7s and British Blowpipe shoulder-fired missiles were also used by the Mujahideen.
some stats of stinger from various sources
Max speed MAC2.0 warhead.5kg of C4.
Operational ceiling is 10,000 feet.
They build these things then a few years later need to rebuild to build a bigger one, why not build a really HUGE one and do it once so the researchers will have decades worth of use from it without having to rebuild again
Without discussing the morality of this here just what would be the best technical solution and what benifits would it achieve.
Store DNA profile, fingerprints, photos etc of all people in your country.
Implant id tags in all citizens so they can be tracked, like the electronic dog tags.
Place monitors everywhere so everyones every movement and purchase is monitored and tag vs biometrics are checked to make identity theft difficult.
First off this will not prevent crime, it will allow you to find the culprit however very rapidly which is kinda pointless if they are a suicide bomber.
It will allow tracking of associates quickly of an attacker and arrest of criminals with great rapidity. eg: Id vs number dont match, no identity, wanted identity are all crimes resulting in arrest.
Terrorists are not stupid people, the planning and execution of this attack shows this.
Cells by definition act independently and so don't communicate alot, use of one time pads for all communications would stop any and all chances of decription and this type of encryption is suitable for short messages.
A suggestion.. If the FBI/CIA etc feels it needs to watch someone, then don't let them into the country. Why have completely open borders ?

Sounds like a fake company set up by microsoft to do a test case. Don't be suprised if microsoft wins.

500 GeV, try 500TeV

Non - Multizone DVD players are illegal in New Zealand. It's great.
