Donald Trump pushed a narrative during the presidential debate with Kamala Harris, without any evidence, that Haitian immigrants are eating people's cats and dogs.
I feel anyone with a hard science background could make a device, which is part of the rationale of ethics and philosophy being in the curriculum. We do so much how we forget to discuss “should.”
It only takes about a tenth grade level of understanding physics and chemistry to make a decent device from scratch. With the access Americans have to over the counter explosives (tannerite) and arduinos you only need enough of an education to know how to copy and paste code. Relying on people being uneducated isn’t a good strategy because these things are extremely easy to make. I work with some people that I question whether or not they can read who build effective devices with little to no effort.
What makes you think it’s difficult? There are entire telegram channels dedicated to teaching future, wannabe terrorists, you can find them yourself if you want.
It’s been a threat for several decades and has only gotten easier and more sophisticated rather than more difficult.
A reasonably safe, fairly effective pipe bomb is easy to make with the some basic theory and high school chemistry knowledge. A moderately safe, highly effective pipe bomb requires only slightly more knowledge and a deeper understanding of high school chemistry. This stuff was easy enough that people were using it over half a thousand years ago to good effect. If you can’t figure it out now with a couple weeks effort and the breadth of knowledge at our disposal, that’s on you.
I wish more of them would try to build bombs and find out it’s not so easy. ☠️
Please don’t wish that it’s not really that hard.
How would you know?

Those people don’t have “education” ;)

Exactly. Hitting 10th grade in American schools is only having basic knowledge. So therefore, they have no idea.
Because I can read?

A threat that rarely results in a bomb though.
And when it does, what happens?
Hopefully it goes wrong and they blow themselves up.
What happens when they’re successful?
Sit in mommies basement and wish for more people to get blown up idiot.
Ask me how I know you’re 12.
Well, I’m not 12, so it looks like you’re frequently wrong.
