Creating a surface-to-idiot missile is actually quite simple*. Testing it is next to impossible because the guidance system is constantly overwhelmed with targets.
* No, really. It is! I designed one and had it about 95% working. I think there was a problem with a switch though, because every time I turned it on the darn thing would blow up on my workbench.
Update: Thanks to Zoe pointing out the spelling error (now fixed). Maybe it wasn't the switch...

I've found in my own case such things were usually caused by a problem between the headphones.
