What would you do if terrorists attacked using biological or chemical warfare?

Hyena looking rather evil - A Hyena at the zoo in Sacramento. It is rather evil looking. Its coat is a reddish-brown with black spots. Its head is lowered in a menacing-looking way. The Hyenas at the Sac Zoo live in a cave. The cave is man-made from cement.

We are all familiar with terrorism in this age in which we live. Unfortunately, it is a fact of life, especially for people living in countries like Israel, Lebanon, as well as the US on 9/11. What would you do if terrorists attacked the city in which you live using biological or chemical warfare such as is portrayed on the show "24"? How would you react? What would you do if you heard an attack was imminent? Where would you hide? Or wouldn't you hide?

I have military experience, so I would find them and destroy them. One by one, because I have nothing to lose. If they have some chemical weapons, it is the same, are you hiding or not. - D -

Wow. You sound very brave. I'm not sure it would be that easy, though. I think these kinds of warfare (biological and chemical) are some of the worst ones because they are unseen, difficult to trace, and can come in very small packages (you know how the airports take just about everything away from you nowadays when you fly--even water bottles). I learned a lot about this subject by watching the show "24". I hope the warmongers aren't watching it too! You must be braver than some because you were the only one to respond to this discussion so far! Thank you for your comment :)

What is there to do? If things reach the stage where terrorists are actually able to attack using biological or chemical warfare, we are all doomed anyway. I don't care if that seems fatalistic, it's true. All the duct tape and gas masks in the world won't be able to help if the gov't drops the ball that badly. I have to say, I've seen every episode of 24, and season three was far more horrifying to watch than any of the others. As far as WMDs go, let's face it, you can't exactly put together a nuke in your backyard; that scenario is not going to happen without state involvement. But biological warfare? Well, in my opinion that's completely withing the realm of possibility, because it's actually not that difficult from what I understand (and I am absolutely not an expert on this, all I know is what I have read in the newspaper and on what I feel are credible sources on the net)lethal viruses are not as closely guarded as they should be.
