Making A Cruise Missile
This is obviously the link.
This is the question:
Will it work?
Is there something blatantly obvious he's missing etc?
either way, I want one. I'll ride it to class every morning, and just won't fill it with explosives!
(maybe a tiny bit of background would help:
this guy claimed that terrorists could build cruise missiles and attack us with them.
ashcroft said that building one would be impossible for them, and promptly ignored the entire possibility.
this guy said that he would do it probably for less than the airline tickets cost the 911 boys)

It'll work. A sophisticated Tomohawk isn't something that's plausible, but Germany made the first "cruise missile" over 50 years ago (The V2 rockets) and I imagine that much more sophisticated technology is available to the general public.
All it takes is someone with the know-how and the resources.

I was sure that the V2 qualified as a balistic missile, rather than a cruise missile, which fitted the profile of the V1.

Ashcroft is a moron.
The physics club here regularly builds rockets and the like. Adding a control system, more fuel, and explosives isn't exactly hard.

On paper, but getting it to work in real life is a diffrent story. Hence a nuke is simple in idea on paper the trick is getting the trigger to get it all to happen just right.

nuke is not simple on paper;
nuke requires weapons grade plutonium (or a comparably rare isotope of something).
which they don't hand out at 7-11.
given that, in order to 'set it off' you still need to craft your detonator whatnot almost perfectly.

I thought this thread was about making a Love Missile because of threads around it in the thread list making me think it was about a Love Missile.

thus one decides to be lazy and make a dirty bomb. :-) Wait cnaw, you ask, where am i going to get the material? Ah i'm glad you asked. smoke dectors (Americium-241), antique luminous dial clocks(radium-226), black ore called pitchblende( uranium-238 & uranium-235), and Coleman-style gas lanterns(thorium-232)[all of this ripped from the article i'll tell of next]. So what to do next? Build your own breeder reactor just like David David Hahn.
Lets see here:
"Frustrated at his inability to isolate sufficient supplies of uranium, David turned his attention to thorium-232, which when bombarded with neutrons produces uranium-233, a man-made fissionable element (and, although he might not have known it then, one that can be substituted for plutonium in breeder reactors)."
See if a kid can do it anyone can (if they have brains) :-)

"The Nuclear Boy Scout" was a program about the guy in that article on TV in the UK not long ago.....he was quite a strange person.
