Intelligence Services Should Load Up YouTube With Bogus How to Make Bombs Videos

The other day I was surfing the YouTube videos and came across a number of videos which showed how to make C4 explosives and one which explained how to make PBX and yet, a few more on how to make land mine explosives like RDX. I watched a few and then thought, hey, why is that stuff online in the first place? After all, the videos we far too simple; How To Make Videos. And well, that’s just scary stuff.

Then I thought maybe our intelligence agencies are busy monitoring such sites to see if anyone who is a suspected international terrorist is watching those videos, such as an Al Qaeda member, and by doing so you could get their ISP and location fairly easily. That might be good intelligence – although on the other hand could lead to too many false positives – still, I have a concept?

Why not make fake videos which would cause pre-mature detonation to a lesser degree if someone were to follow those steps, or perhaps videos that would make the compound created useless. In other words, it wouldn’t be more than a fire-cracker and couldn’t hurt a fly? That’s a concept. Meanwhile you could still monitor those who are downloading those videos, or watching them multiple times, while stopping the video during each segment, as one would who is making such an explosive material in real-time.
