Possible exceptions to property rights

Hypothetical case:

Let’s say I’m a fundamentalist muslim living in a Libertarian country and I keep in my fridge samples of anthrax, malaria, smallpox and several other deadly bacteria strains. They suspect I might be setting up a terrorist attack (and I really am, but they’re not sure).

Are my christian neigbours entitled to send their protection agencies to raid my home and dispose of the dangerous substances? Is pre-emptive strike justified?

If not, what other solutions are there?

As a former conservative, I was very alarmed by the specter of Islamic terrorism. When I became a libertarian, I realized that the threat of terrorism does not justify the draconian measures conservatives propose to combat it, and that an an-cap society could defend itself better. Here are a few things to consider:

• A libertarian society would lack a centrally-controlled national security apparatus. There would not be a single organization designed to protect the entire country; instead, each property owner would have the incentive to protect his or her own property (be it airplanes, chemical factories, power plants, etc.). This would be more efficient and effective.
• A lack of gun control would ensure that everybody is capable of defending themselves against aggression–by individual criminals, invading armies, and wanna-be dictators; and if one individual could not defend himself, they could band together and form a militia.
• An anarcho-capitalist regime would be non-interventionist, and would not get its fingers burnt in Middle Eastern conflicts; thus, they wouldn’t be attacked as often by deranged Islamic fanatics.
• An an-cap regime would not have restriction on domestic drilling and energy production, and would not be at the mercy of oil-producing states.
• A an-cap regime would be very free and prosperous. Free and prosperous people tend to become very hedonistic and self-indulgent, and are not inclined to strap bombs on themselves to advance their 7^th-century religion.
• Did you know that, according to Mark Levin’s America Alone, many prominent Islamic terrorists in milked the welfare system for thousands upon thousands of dollars? An anarcho-capitalist regime would not attract immigration from people who prefer plunder over labor, as does the welfare state.
• The lack of controlled-substance laws would prevent criminal organizations from making billions of dollars on the black market—thus, less terrorism and organized crime.
• The free market would supply terror-busting firms which would specialize in locating, infiltrating, and prosecuting criminal organizations if there was a demand for those services.

Does that answer your question?
