Fortunately some experts have voiced their opinion on this report with some more down to earth thinking: http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/9773172/ No-smoking-gun-with-3-D-printers-experts-say
When will government get a handle on this technology and stop all the FUD? ever?"

    [citation needed] Stuff.co.nz looks like a tabloid. Some of their other headlines:

    Man charged in assault on baby

    Miley's tongue taken to court

    and...

    I'm naked - now you see me

    Stuff isn't really a tabloid. It's an aggregate feed of several of the major newspapers in New Zealand. It used to be really good. Unfortunately over the last couple of years they've been adding more and more user contributed stories - unmoderated and of really variable quality - in an attempt to get into the social media style of doing things. It made Facebook a lot of money so must be good , right?

    So I quit visiting Stuff directly. I only go there via google news now. That way I know it's a real story as it's been reported by other sources too.
