"...The prospect of an anthrax attack was investigated in the 1990s by the 
US Office of Technological Assessment. They concluded that 100 kilograms of 
virulent anthrax effectively dispersed at night over Washington DC could 
cause between one and three million deaths. Crop-dusters can carry up to 
twice that capacity..."





Bottom line: The best protection from determined terrorists over the long run 
is prevention; is to reduce the motivation to conduct terrorism. It is in the 
nature of complex and advanced societies to create so many points of potential 
vulnerability by well-organized terrorist groups that they cannot all be guarded 
effectively, no matter how many security precautions are taken. -- Roger
