Here’s a dirty little secret.
You wouldn’t need to actually touch off a nuke, radioactive dirty bomb, or bio weapon dirty bomb to bring the country to it’s knees.
Having a bomb of this type in place and having it “discovered” before it went off would cause mass panic on a scale most people can’t imagine.
Tens of millions of people would start fleeing the major cities all over the country because of the possibility of a second bomb.
To get an idea of what it would be like, look at what happened during hurricane Rita after the mass panic that was created by hurricane Katrina.
People didn’t want to risk getting caught in another New Orleans post Katrina type situation and millions tried to flee before the storm.
I saw it first hand, and it looked like something from an apocalyptic syfy movie.
Tens of millions of people would be trying to go somewhere safe without any idea where they were going.
With the amount of traffic on the roads you’re lucky to go 100 miles in 24 hours.
Small town gas stations run out of fuel on the first day.
Thousands of cars are abandoned because they run out of gas.
Store shelves in small towns are stripped.
The one saving grace that kept people somewhat in line and not turning into desperate mob willing to do anything was the fact here in Texas people are armed.
Oh I totally agree. No argument there at all.
