The "rock" seems, in my mind... to be a critical component in this.  Its
primitive nature carries (most likely) a great deal of evolutionary and
hence; historical relevance.

That said,

I am left with two remaining avenues.

1) Use of device.
2) Intermediate means of "rock" transportation.

Elaborations:

1) Use of device.

I think high-tech augmentation is out of the question.  The very primitive
nature of the "rock" speaks against it.  So, I am left with constructing my
own means of "rock launching", say a modified handmade trebuchet.

The biggest challenge, to me, is actually working the bugs out of the system
while avoiding long-term incarceration.  Being in California leaves allot of
landmass between me and the leading edge of the predefined "challenging"
water mass.

Two or three misfires resulting in the fatal smashing of an 80 year old
pedestrian in... say, Phoenix Arizona and I am spending some serious time
"avoiding bubba" in the correctional facilities of this fine State.

This option requires more thought.  Possibly moving to the East Coast.

2) Intermediate means of "rock" transportation.

Probably the simplest overall solution.  Having check FAA (Federal Aviation
Administration) rules it appears that transporting a "rock" within the inner
shell of my personal luggage is ok.  But I must ponder if this violates the
Primitive Natures Rule born out of using a "rock" in the first place.

Once grounded firmly on foreign soil I would be left with a wide array of
options to conceal my "rock", "person" and "intent" until the final act.

:O)
