How to prevent WMDs in NZ

You simply ask universities to let the SIS know if they think any of their students are constructing them.

No, I am not kidding. The Press reports:

New Zealand’s spy agency, the Security Intelligence Service (SIS), wants universities to alert the SIS to any illicit science relating to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

SIS director Dr Warren Tucker met the New Zealand Vice-Chancellors’ Committee (NZVCC) and sent university managers a letter and a brochure called A Guide to Weapons of Mass Destruction: Your Role in Preventing Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Well that makes me sleep better at night.
