The thing about nanotechnology is that people could build small machines that you can't see to kill people. Hmmmm aren't we making some sort of Luddite argument?

Yes, new technology can be used for bad things too.

You can still kill people with swords, knives and hammers. Don't knock the deadliness of old technology. As I say, it's not the gun in the hands of the lunatic in front of the leader he needs to worry about: it's the stilettos in the hands of his ambitious friends standing behind him.
