I would be fascinated to know how information that has been published in
everything from IEEE Spectrum to Sailing magazine could "endanger
lives"?

BTW those "abstract constitutional principles" have been responsible for
a lot more good men dying than the entire allied casualties so far in
this war! Maybe YOU don't think the U.S. Constitiution is anything more
than a some abstract ideal, but some of us disagree.

I would also draw your attention to the fact that Henry Spencer is in
Canada which last time I checked was an independant country.
