Following from my earlier post about the Unabomber's one-man assault on the Technological Revolution, the Chronicle of Higher Education is reporting that a copycat letterbomb killer is stalking the exclusive and secretive research halls of Nanotechnology. People working in Nanotech facilities across North America are very alarmed.
It seems this self-styled anti-tech terrorist is taking Sarah Conner or Kyle Reese as their model, aiming to attack the scientists who started it all before time runs out. This was a major plot point in the 1991 film, Terminator 2. Here are more layers of frightening and dangerous Millennial craziness, as the boundaries between fact and fiction blur.

Because, you know, blowing up nanotechnologists is *such* a great way to teach them to be cautious in their experiments. Right.
