If you're interested in other terrifying compounds be sure to read
'Ignition'.[0]
My footnote is for a scan of the original printing but I believe the book has have recently been reprinted in multiple formats. Regardless of the format you choose, it's a hell of a read.

If this is your first time reading one of these, Derek Lowe’s “things I won’t work with” series is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Anyone thinking this might have potential as an unconventional weapon might find it interesting to read Neal Stephenson's Zodiac. The protagonist, a chemist-turned-environmental-activist, makes some Putrescine (a similarly stinky substance) for self defence.

For a not-all-that-fun time, go to eBay and search on that.
there was one answer, and it was for a prank device to detect that.
Plus I got a box inviting me to select the vehicle type this was for. I took one, and got a lot of miscellaneous stuff having nothing to do with thioacetone.

Sounds like a possible weapon. Not fatal or toxic but certain to temporarily disable troups downwind.

I'm a little disappointed by this article. After all, I'm sure the author knows that anything that stinks with sulfur can be made stinkier by substituting selenium! Selenoacetone is worse than thioacetone!
