...address, license plate number and children's names have appeared on a web site called "The Nuremberg Files." This "wanted" list has posted the names of other doctors, three of whom have been killed by anti-abortion activists. The federal agents advise you to buy a bulletproof vest and equip your office with bulletproof glass. You take the advice, and call a lawyer, who deconstructs the situation this way: Does the web site in question pose an actual threat, or is it merely an exercise in First Amendment rights...

So if violence will be initiated against Israel after our pullout, it won't be complicated...
That kind of redesign isn't possible today, but it may not be far off. Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School have already developed a way to equip a benign virus with genetic material that codes for muscle growth, and they have injected the virus into mice. The animals quickly bulk up by as much as 20%, becoming not just bigger but stronger. The researchers have developed other techniques to block cellular signals that would otherwise cause muscles to atrophy, allowing the new mass to be retained even without exercise...
