What we should do is get one of those laser based anti-missle defenses the US is working on, secretely set it up in SK, and let them mess with NK every time they try to launch another test missle.

...how long before another silly tourist get imprisoned in NK?

First off... NK isn't even a tourist spot.
Knowing this, if you were to enter the territory without the intent of getting caught.... you deserve to be imprisoned.
Just as bad as those two Americans that went to Iran, got imprisoned, and the US had to pay 500,000 for each.
Seriously, they should be forced to pay that back through labor.

So, how long until they will pick up talks again to beg for foreign aid?
By now, even China becomes increasingly annoyed by the mannerisms of its vasall state. Should Big Brother withdraw its supports, NK would collapse within a matter of weeks, if not days.
From what I've read, the party officials actually are aware that things won't continue like this for much longer, and actively have started to shift their wealth into third-party states.
An interesting question would be whether, should the North Korean regime fall, South Korea actually would pursue reunification - most of the people who still remember the country as one political entity are slowly dying away, and bringing the North on level with the South likely would require trillions of dollars in industrial and humanitarian aid.

No we have other communication channels we can open with North Korea.
