A few weeks ago I mentioned that retail chains up and down the east coast had just started using UV gadgets to identify counterfeit moola at their registers...connect the radioactive dots.
Not sure I get the connection between the UV gadgets and radioactive counerfeits.
Why would chains all of a sudden invest a good chunk of money into UV detection gadgets? Homeland security could have prompted this action. The chains have cheaper ways of detection but this new gadget is for every bill, every denomination...it has to mean a major influx of bogus bills of all denominations (not just $100.) The holiday season is the best time for this sort of hijinks.
The radiation or bio vector is just more icing on the cake...take out the economy and the people, 2 birds with one stone.
SNIP: Bio-terroristic attack: The Nightmare Scenarios
The attraction of bio-weapons for use in terrorist attacks is attributed to their low production costs, the easy access to a wide range of disease-producing biological agents, their non-detection by routine security systems, and their easy transportation from one location to another.
Popular scenarios of bio-terrorism, that may have some mythical origins and cinematic Hollywood links, include the use of psychotic substances to contaminate food; the use of toxins and poisons in political assassinations; raids with crude biological cloud bombs; use of dried viral preparations in spray powders; and low-flying cruise missiles adding destruction and havoc with genetically-engineered micro-organisms. Other aspects of bio-terrorism are to dispute agriculture, decimate livestock, contaminate the environment, and seed food insecurity through intentional food poisoning and food infection.
For terrorist purposes, a sophisticated delivery system may not be required. Biological agents can be disseminated by crosswinds with few, if any, indications of hostile intent. Commercially available equipment, such as agricultural sprayers, can be used to attack broad target areas. A single aircraft, for example, can disseminate a line of source agent approximately 200 kilometers long to infect an area of some 200 square kilometers downwind. A vehicle driven across the wind could be used to disperse agents in a similar manner over a proportionately smaller area. After the terrorist attacks in New York recently, all crop dusters in America were grounded.
