I feel fairly certain a countermeasures approach is ultimately not feasible. I suspect you have not thought far enough ahead. The only feasible long term approach to advanced technology in terrorist hands probably is: (a) Establish world government (b) Disarm everyone (c) Permit access to technology development information, tools and materials only under license and regular inspections. Items (a) and (b) probably will require a world war. I see no need to hurry all this along. Regards, Horace Heffner
