Popular Mechanics is now in the business of giving detailed instructions to terrorists in how to build devices to destroy civilization?

Yes. In an allegedly free society, people publish things that make other people uncomfortable. They even publish things that evil people can use to wreak havok.

It's not that terribly difficult to build EMP weapons that could be useful in a localized area. This information has been out there for years, yet e don't see thousands of people using them to sow destruction and confusion.

You do realise that the average household contains enough chemicals to produce some really nasty effects, don't you?

I have a copy of the 1903 edition of the Encyclopaedia Brittannica. Using the information in it, I could do many things including make TNT. Are we going to destroy all knowlege in the world to make the world safe from evildoers?

Yes, when I was a kid I used to make bombs with my chemistry set. I still remember several recipes, including classic black powder and ammonium tri-iodide, but I prefer not to post them publicly at this point in time.
