Biochemical Weapons - A big threat??

this is a very interesting issue... yes biochemical weapons can be thought of..the idea had been thought of many a times..also the large scale detruction connected to it has been enpahsised...it has evn been practiced from world war I. it strted with , usage of poison gases, or any harmful gas.in world war 1 germans introduced the biochemical war fare,they used chlorine gas, mustard gas..and also the lethal nerve gas that attacks the body muscles.. nowadays a common such gas being used by police for controlling the mob is tear gas...the only way to prevent being victims during such attacks is by using protective suits , , masks...now biological warfare has also developed ..the ppls life would be at stake with a large no: of deadly, viruses capable of causing epidepic and deaths channeled to the wrong hands...hope something like that would not happen.

Yes they are always going to be a threat.

i think they are the most dangerous after nuclear weapons, they will not kill you but will make sure you can't live as well. i think global ban of such weapons of mass destruction is needed.

Yes biochemical are a big threat to the nations, the un most take proper steps to cure them and also stop terroism

I can make a simple biochemical weapon. Anyone could, if you have the knowledge of it. Plus the internet today. Don't freak out. Just pray to god that it won't happen. -gas mask could not filter some gas-

Whatever they do to us I feel they are justified, and I worry about it daily. Iraq did nothing to us and we have murdered hundreds of thousands of their innocent civilians. Many more thousands will die from radiation poisoning ( our troops too) from the HUGE amounts of depleted uranium dust from our armour piercing warheads. The Bush adm. are war criminals and should be prosecuted for genocide, jusy like the Nazis who had more of a reason to invade Poland (protect their people)than we did for invadng Iraq. Bush & co. were involved in 9-11, it wasn't a terrorist attack -http://www.loosechange911.com/

Right after 9/11 there was the anthrax scare that raised the threat of bioterrorism. Although it turned out not to be as serious as was thought and not to be from a foreign source, nevertheless the threat is potentially very real, simply because biological and chemical weapons are so cheap. Unlike all other weapons of mass destruction biochemical weapons are potentially accessible to the poorest nations and individuals. During the anthrax scare which in the end killed only six people, it was quite apparent that the absence of a decent public health system in the United States renders us defenseless against a threat of this kind. A minimum necessary condition for increasing our security against the threat of biochemical terrorism is a good public health system. Now millions of Americans are uninsured, hence not secure, against ordinary medical problems, but since the harm there is not intentional, it gets less priority; it seems less threatening—except of course to the sick person and their families who don’t have insurance
