They say they had if for only 16 minutes, but how would anyone know if they just slipped it away somewhere, to sell it on the black market, or something, like North Korea with its nuclear secrets?
Even if it was possible to store it for long periods (which it isn’t), all the anti-matter created in all of history wouldn’t be enough to pop a pimple.
Although Beowulf beat me to the punch on the facts, I would like to add the this with a bit of a grin on my face…
the following would play out like any classic Warner Bro’s cartoon featuring exploding cigars…
ME: Hey, Kim Sung,… Pssssst! Antimatter! I got antimatter here, cheap!
Kim Sung: I’ll take all you got!
ME: Sure buddy, that’ll be $40 million.
KS: I wirr onry pay you $30 mirrwen
ME: Well, OK, but be sure and put a new battery in the magnetic containment feild generator before tooooo long
KS: You not tell me what do! Helw are $30 mirrwen, give me antimattle NOW! (Holds out hands)
ME: OK… (give small package to KS)
Exit ME concealling giggles behind hands (Exit Rapidly)
KS: This onry weigh 5 glams, I am gonna peak!
And the ending, well it writes itself…
Frankly, even if we could make enough, keep it long enough, most of the maniacs out there wouldn’t have the capacity to store it… think of it as a Darwin Award for silly terrorists…
…although I’m now imagining antimatter-enabled squirrels. The effects on the forest biome would be horrendous!

Poor naive fools. You underestimate the evil ingenuity of SPECTRE. You laugh now, but…
Exactly. Then you’ll see who laughs last.
