Annoyed at crazy people

Reading Scientific American: Engineering Life: Building a Fab for Biology [ BIOTECHNOLOGY ] in this months SA it is annoying to think that security from people has to be a concern. Just thinking about the current nuclear problem, imagine what one smart person can do with a small biology lab once things like DNA synthesizers and sequencers become affordable and mainstream. Of course the rewards outweigh the danger but it is annoying that crazy people can learn to use these things (as they learned to make IED's). Guess we will have to one day deal with The moral Virologist (a superb story by Greg Egan and definitely worth reading)!
