It's The Money!! They're Going To Go After The Money!!! (Vanity)

Sorry for the vanity post, but I was just counting the money in my wallet when I started to sneeze. Then it hit me: The terrorists are going to use our money against us!

We all know how badly infested our paper money is normally. We don't really want to know where that dollar bill has been, thank you. But how many of us remember the Secret Service busting several groups of Iraqis over the last ten years for printing many millions in fake US paper currency? What has been the premise all along of our Russian "partners"? Remember how they said that "Get rid of your dollars - very soon they will be worthless"? And who can forget Osama's main target on 9/11 - the WTC was seen as the financial hub of our nation? All along it has been the camelhumper's main issue with not only us, but the Israelis as well - we're ALL RICH in their eyes. They're jealous about the MONEY!! It's the money that makes us the demons to them, that's why they went to places like Las Vegas to see us at what they think is our worst or most decadent while getting up the righteous indignation to fly into the buildings.

So you take this mindset of theirs, and combine it with the biological and/or chemical weapons of Saddam's Iraq. It doesn't take a GED to figure out that the perfect way to spread death as well as financial ruin on America is though our currency. Think of the damage - how many other nations use the dollar as the benchmark for their own currencies? This is a terrorist's wet dream. I know about loose lips sinking ships - but the FBI hasn't mentioned something this logical as a threat. It makes too much sense. If you think that this post is giving ideas to the enemy, I'm afraid that the cows have already left the barn - I'm just trying to tell everyone so the door can be shut before the mad cows come back in. If you think about it for a minute or two, you'll get concerned enough to agree with me.

Is this moron talking about counterfeiting paper US bills? If so he knows very little about the make-up of our paper currency.

[HiTech RedNeck]

They don't have to make counterfeit money for this purpose. Nor do they have to work with it outside the USA.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Germs.

[Lion's Cub]

Actually, I seriously doubt that. Even in biological warfare, you want to maintain some kind of control. Creating an epidemic with something like currency means you could lose any or most of your sleepers.

Aside from that, I'm not sure how easy it would be to get powerful enough germs to stick to the currency. In addition, you'd have no control over the other organisms that naturally wind up on the money--and some organisms are natural killers of others.

I wouldn't say it could never happen--just that it wouldn't be a particularly good method for reaching a targeted population.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We really don't know.

If such a thing happened, banks and cashiers would be among the first to be afflicted, like post offices and mailrooms were with the anthrax attacks. They deal with lots and lots of cash.

I agree-but there's a catch 22 there. They also deal with lots and lots of people. The question facing an epidemiologist would be did the bank personnel and all the cashiers get sick because of their extensive contact with the public, or did the public get sick because of their contact with the bank personnel and cashiers? Did the cash contaminate the victims, or did the victims contaminate the cash? I'm not sure it would be that easy to make those distinctions...

Great. Of all the things I worry about, now I have to add Assthrax to the list.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Assthrax

[NeoCaveman]

Well you set that up perfectly with the toilet paper comment.

[Cagey]

Assthrax

Hahahahahaha! That is hillarious, dubya.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Maybe we should take our act on the road?

[NeoCaveman]

Maybe we should

[COB1]

ASSTHRAX!

LOL!

Good one, dubya!

I wonder where we'd have to be innoculated for that disease?

[NeoCaveman]

I figure they'll be coming out with Cipro suppositories....

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Cob -- OUCH! Thanks for that visual..........
