    I just heard on MSNBC, that the US Navy will use concrete filled bombs
    instead of plastique-loaded weapons; to reduce casualties in Bagdad. Ah
    kinetic-kill newtonian physics, is there no end to its usefulness?
    (homeresque statement)

    MMB (aka Lorrey Clone) opined:
    <<As with most miltech, the easiest terror use is based on stealing it or
    divertng it, not reinventing it. That said, the primary ingredents of the
    US FAMs are pretty much public. No, I'm not naming them here. They are
    nasty (toxic) chemicals to begin with. Not sure about the thermobaric
    stuff. The remaining mysteries are dispersal and ignition, and that seems
    to me to be a matter of a few months, maybe a year, tops, of messing around
    in the vicinity of desert caves with a milling machine and a set of
    chemical-supply and surplus-store catalogs handy--and a DHL drop. Having a
    few unexpended/dud rounds could shorten that time quite a bit, as long as
    you were lucky or clever.>>
