Then if government confiscates all the middle classes’ bank accounts as a means of control, that will backfire spectacularly. They took away all the fake money so your ordinary monthly bill-paying is ruined and you can’t do normality anymore, but didn’t take away any of the personal home shop stuff?

It’s worse than that. Every digital camera can be the basis for an IR seeker. See https://www.gadgetreview.com/how-to-remove-ir-filter-from-digital-camera

Any idea on where to get the dot-stl or dot-cx3d files for such a toy?
