Quite the opposite. You could handle material that can be handled by any other lab equipment (that's what lab equipment is for) at minuscule scales.

People have been producing Chemical- and Bioweapons already with stuff you can essentially order on amazon. If a large drug lab decided to do nerve agents they could probably do so.

Additionally you need surprisingly large amounts of these weapons to effectively target more than a couple people.

Fear of these things causing a doomsday movie like scenario where somebody combines the common cold with ebola in their garage are like fearing 3D printed guns when you might as well buy a fully automatic rifle at the next U.S. gun shop or E.U. criminal.

You misunderstood me I said the --diversity-- was large not the amounts. Also I was talking about screening scale, not production scale (I said develop).
