The real danger with VX is that it has an extremly long half life for a nerve agent. The V in vx stands for long life. If they would use it in the subway a person that walked in there and touched the wall two months later could die from the exposure within 15 minutes.

VX is oily and sticks to things. It is very hard to de-activate. VX is clearly marked as a weapon of mass destruction in military journals. It has not been used in active warfare due to the great danger of wind shifing the gas back on your troops. Gas masks are not enough to stop VX as a droplet smaller than the width of a human hair that touches your skin means death.

If this report is true, America should have wiped out Iraq the first time, and has more than enough justification for the use of nuclear weapons this time. Giving WMD to terrorists is beyond Insane.

Can you imagine, one idiot with a vial of this could shut down any mass transit system in any major city in the world for months, killing hundreds of people in the act. It would take over a year before it would be safe to ride in the subway again.
