Police Don't Teach Unemployed People Bomb Making
The police only teach bomb-making to those with a need to know, those with jobs in the field, and those who have just been hired to take on jobs in the field.
Traffic officers don't learn it. Homicide detectives don't learn it.
And the police certainly do not teach bomb making when they deliver lectures at high schools and colleges.
As for chemistry courses, there is making an explosive, and there is making a bomb. There is a difference.
If you'd studied engineering you would be aware of that difference. But you'd also (hopefully) have been immersed in the concepts of ethics first.

| Of course they teach it to people are aren't employed in the bomb-squads...there would be little point in teaching it to someone already in the bomb-squad.
Traffic officers certainly do learn it as they're part of the pool of officers are are chosen as candidates.
As a degreed engineer (M.E. & mathematics) I'm well aware that even the G.E. requirements for my M.E. major required not only more than enough chemistry to make explosives, but also enough E.E. to build a charge and trigger and of course enough M.E. to design the casing of a such a device so that it would have rather nasty effects if detonated.
Now I'm not out running around blowing crap up nor have the slightest urge to. And that isn't because I took ethics which at my school was a joke class in itself. The only ethics I was forced to take was a propaganda class on how being an engineer will lead me to destroying the fragile planet we live on and how we should all move back into caves. The same for these students. Just because they're taught the skills doesn't mean that there is going to be a wave of new spammers graduated from it.
With your logic we could also scrap chemistry, biology, programming, C.E., M.E., archery or any other class that teaches skills that could be used to do harm in one way or another.
