Yeah, where's Al Quaeda when you really need them!

You know... Those guys ARE getting death threats from utterly ignorant Luddites who have similar misconceptions as you.
Many of them are just followers- which is what you appear to be doing too. Only I think you fancy yourself as a leader among followers.
Do you realize that you made a terroristic threat?

Absolutely not! I made it quite clear that (a) I can't travel to Europe, even if I wanted to--which I don't; (b) the thing is 100 meters below solid rock; (c) I would get caught anyway; to which I'll add (d) bombing the LHC would only be a temporary setback at best; (e) terrorism is counterproductive because it would rally world opinion in favor of the boosters; (f) terrorism is unethical.
So before you can put anymore words into my mouth, allow me to make my position crystal clear:
ATTENTION LURKERS!
My fellow doomsayers, it is with regret that I must announce that the authorities have rejected our latest filings. It does not mean the end of the world--yet. There are still several weeks to go before the Long Hadron Collider is brought up to full power. With any luck, they will break it themselves. Meanwhile, let us use this time productively. Keep signing those petitions, keep writing your representatives in Congress and in Parliment. If you are from a developing nation put at risk by Europe once again, take your case to the United Nations. This is an International Concern because the risk is international.
And don't do anything rash. Do not engage in terrorist activities. Do not make death threats. Such activities are counterproductive besides being highly unethical. We shall continue to pursue our cause legitimately through the court system, and through our legislative bodies. And let us pray that the CERN scientists are lucky enough to have guessed the unknown laws of nature correctly.
