Using military components for critical functions can increase the reliability of entire systems, for example, the use of military explosives and detonators in improvised explosive devices.

On the Western Front the small improvised trenches of the first few months rapidly grew deeper and more complex, gradually becoming vast areas of interlocking defensive works.

Improvised methods, such as the use of hijacked airplanes by the 11 September 2001 terrorists, can cause massive destruction without the use of any actual weapon system.

Despite the difficulties of effective regulation of dual use goods, the Monitoring Team believes there is scope to introduce new measures that would limit the ability of Al Qaida and the Taliban to use commercial or improvised explosives, such as ammonium nitrate.

This has meant that apart from Iraq, where military ordinance is plentiful, and the Afghan Pakistan border area, where there are still stockpiles of weapons left over from the Taliban rule, operatives are most likely to use small arms and improvised explosives in their attacks.

By bio terrorism, the Monitoring Team means not only the use of military bio weapons, but also the use of improvised dispersal devices or other methods to spread dangerous pathogens ranging from salmonella to smallpox, as well as attacks against bio facilities to cause the same effect.

By chemical terrorism, the Monitoring Team refers not only to the use of chemical military weapons, but also to the use of dual use equipment or improvised chemical dispersal devices to spread toxic materials, as well as attacks against chemical facilities to cause the release of such substances.

And so the experiment really rests on the following What happens in the brain during something that's memorized and over learned, and what happens in the brain during something that is spontaneously generated, or improvised, in a way that's matched motorically and in terms of lower level sensory motor features?
