#1 Chemical weapons are illegal. Even if they are edible.

#2 How that is different from OC? Except that curry is more suited to local cooking, of course.

#3 No different than our pepper spray.

Brilliant idea to make it into a gas though.

#4 Like the cloud idea. Kind of shielding pepper gas.

We have a friend that threw in liquid hot sauce into the pan he was using to shallow fry his dinner. He and his wife, well let's just say they had to leave the house for a bit.

#5 When I'm cutting a Bhut Jolokia (from India) I have to be careful to not inhale the fumes. I also have to be careful to not let the pot boil over. Those things are 2 to 3 times hotter than a Habenero. You could trigger respiratory arrest with those things.

#6 Deacon Blues: I have a regular hazmat process for making habanero picante.

First of all, you work outside. Wearing a plastic smock, butyl rubber gloves, a breathing device and clear goggles, I run the stemmed peppers through a meat grinder along with a white onion. Then pour the boiling vinegar and salt mix over them in the jar. Rinse all equipment in a bucket of warm, soapy water before putting in the dishwasher.

After two weeks of steeping, then I run the mix through a blender, again outside, and add a cup of grain alcohol.

All told, it is no more difficult than working with persistent nerve agent. Of course, if I was making a picante out of Bhut Jolokia, it would be no more difficult that working with highly radioactive persistent nerve agent.
