#3 In a more civilized culture, these misguided souls would be "5150"ed, put under 72 hour suicide watch and given some anti-depressants.

It is cheaper to just give them some aged C-4 and a blasting cap. It is also cheaper than a fighter jet with a bomb or a rocket.

#4 Based on what I've read on the underground Iranian student sites and the supposed numbers of young people who believe the regime to be oppressive, this might be a cheap & easy way for a 'dissenting' young person to clandestinely immigrate, too. Once they get to somewhere outside of Persia, they may very well 'forget' what they've been sent to do. Don't know if there would be some Iranian security type standing behind them the whole way with a weapon, however.

#7 That is a lot of sploadadopes. For efficiency why not invite them to the stadium and just blow them up. Give their families the perfunctory martyrdom certificate. Everyone's happy. This would save the world a lot of trouble.

#8 100,000 potential martyrs, ya say? Whoa!! That's a lot of personnel to handle. Yer gonna need some help processing them all. May I suggest a Powder River S2C Curved Alley? Take a look and tell me that it ain't the prettiest little piece of processing equipment ya ever seen?
