Oh, cripes. That's all the potable water I have left in my hurricane/survival kit. Am I gonna die?
Those are some nice legs (which means they CAN'T be Hillary's!)
"Good question. Anyone?"
If it was chemical agent the effects would more than likely be close to the source and downwind. A small package couldn't hold that much and if the explosive is used is of an appropriate quantity, it can likely destroy any agent in the blast. Also, only a non-persistent agent (Sarin) would pose much downwind hazard, and it is rendered harmless due to air column mixing and evaporation fairly quickly.
Radiological is another issue, spreads it out, not necessarily a killing item, but could inflict some minor radiation injuries, and a mess to clean up.
Bio agent and toxins, fireball destroys a large percentage, anthrax spores is a different story, could be transported downwind and in the local area.
It seems to me that the package should be contained in something where tests could be run on chemical contents after it is exploded.
I'm no EOD person, but I understand they do this stuff under things like a Kevlar containment tent, especially in a populated area and when dealing with unknowns.
Exactly right!
No one in THIS administration's going to find THAT.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks again to you and others who offered explanations.
what an ugly old hag
Yep. I was in GW Hospital for some tests last December, and a doctor who was leaving told the security guard to call the biohazard guys to pick up a bloody tissue from the corridor floor. I picked it up myself - the "blood" was Christmas decoration on a napkin from some party.
I asked myself, I said "Self? Who could it be?", and Self told me "David Gregory". So I went with my self's initial reaction. Boy was I wrong!
I'm gonna hurl!
From your keyboard to God's monitor.
Yeh, well, we know why:
Today is March 22.
March is the 3rd month = 3.
22 is twice 11.
3+11
When was the Madrid attack? 311
When was the London attack? July 7.
July is the 7th month. 7 + 7. Turn them upside down and they resemble 1 + 1. Or 11.
The London attack was the 3rd major attack. Thus 3 + 11 or 311.
Scary, huh!
Don't know for sure. But thought it had to be sprayed out in like an aerosol form to have a big impact (technology most of the bad guys haven't had as I recall from early news reports).
LOL!
That someone would take the time to think of all that junk is frightening.
Whoa at your pic. So maybe that Rolling Stone cover wasn't airbrush-enhanced after all! What is the deal with the veeps and their packages? Is there a ruler on the wall during vice presidential candidate interviews or what?
