If your society is kicking out the people capable of building nuclear weapons or synthesizing extinct bacteria, then that society isn't worth preserving. You just don't fucking get that.
Nevermind the problems with claiming that some lone wolf individual is capable of building a factory capable of synthesizing 2 kg of plutonium without being noticed all by himself, while also being competent enough to recalculate all the explosive lenses and assembling it all by himself and THEN transporting it to a target without setting off the radiation detectors that are pretty much everywhere.

Oh I get it. You believe "there needs to be a massive reduction in population" and society isn't worth preserving unless you can build mass destruction weapons in privacy.
In other words you are exactly the kind of person who should be monitored and kept track of by these agencies.
the problems with claiming that some lone wolf individual ... competent enough to recalculate all the explosive lenses
THEN transporting it to a target without setting off the radiation detectors
Buy a house in the city and build it there, not even to mention that "radiation detectors" are invading your privacy. Would you still support your same policy if people could use it to build civilization-ending weapons? "But they can't do that now".
You're one of those people who apparently can't understand hypotheticals - we'll never know how you'd feel if you didn't eat breakfast unless you actually skip breakfast that day.
Radiation Detectors are not FISA warrants, brainlet. Not to mention all the different regulatory hoops and investigation one has to go through to even be allowed near the stuff. Also, nuclear weapons are NOT civilization ending, else civilization would have already ended when we detonated 5000 of them over the last century. At best they can destroy a city block, because anything larger is purely in the domain of state actors, which again, FISA doesn't apply to.
You had more of a point when you were talking about diseases, but no disease will ever have 100% death rate and transmissible at the same time. As a disease increases in lethality it must necessarily decrease in transmissibility because the transmission window decreases.
The only threat to civilization is government. The people in control of government have never heard of a new method of tyranny that they did not like. Their ideal civilization is an eternal unchanging feudal society where they are at the top. Such a society cannot have frontiers, because frontiers are by definition too far away to control effectively and bring in new resources which means new wealth, which is always a threat to their control. And you are advocating for exactly that.

Gov't looking at radiation coming from your person is no different than them looking at photons leaving your phone.
That you're still on gov't being the only threat is a testament to how unimaginative, uninformed, and unintelligent you are.

Absolute hogwash. Smallpox killed 30%+ and was very transmissible (R0 3.5-6.0) - and that's a natural disease subject to evolution not intelligently designed. The common cold is R0 2-3 range, so it's much more transmissible and more deadly than that.
I don't know where you get these patently absurd dogmas.
among many more. You ignorance of the sciences isn't my problem, but it does make your assertions worthless.

I can imagine superluminal antimatter planets being used to actually wipe out civilization, but that doesn't make it real. On the other hand, you think that somehow people are making nuclear weapons, super viruses and sci-fi relativistic blackhole guns in their garage, which is absurd. You are just upset that I and others called you out for what you are: a mouth breathing kleptocrat apologist.

Yeah, that could never happen

Small pox killed 30% at a time when handwashing didn't exist and indoor plumbing was a luxury.
