The BATFE is nominally a tax enforcement agency and were at one time part of the Treasury Department. They might still be, I'm too lazy to google that info. In any case, they enforce laws related to taxes on the production and procurement of those three items. I want to know where EXPLOSIVES part comes in.:-p
A fair part of it would be, no doubt about it, but one of the big costs of a war is getting all that stuff that soldiers need to the war zone. A modern army has a long tail and almost all of that stuff is both heavy and consumable. Add to that the fact that you have to replace equipment at a faster rate (especially in desert environments with fine dust-like sand like Iraq and Saudi Arabia), you're going through a lot more ammo than you would in a peacetime training environment and the fact that you're having to pay your soldiers hazardous duty pay and a lot of little costs really start to add up.
Especially if you're granting no-bid contracts to your buddies.
On Windows, I can prevent users from installing software (using MSI). I can't do that on Mac OS X.
What about not making the user an admin? That seems like a pretty easy way to lock that side of things down.

It's "recursive" not "redundant."
WHOOSH!
Actually, it's a short story called "Guts" by Chuck Palahniuk. Interesting choice for a troll.
Have you tried Bean?

Probably not. I'll bet it's a Fender.

I think you mean Dolemite, not dolomite.
