The scariest water terror scenario I've heard so far would be to take a few grams of plutonium and toss it into a reservoir. Easier than making a bomb, and a coordinated attack could poison a large region. Chlorine would be useless.

Just as scary: Lysergic acid diethylamide would render an entire city insane, would take only minute amounts thrown into a reservoir to be effective, and is much easier to acquire than plutonium (can be homemade). Scary, eh?

LSD would degrade rather quickly in water, and you'd need a hell of a lot. Radioactive materials, once obtained, would be a lot more effective.

I think that this can be mitigated by having all the local radio stations play Grateful Dead bootlegs for 24 hours after the initial exposure.

"Lysergic acid diethylamide would render an entire city insane"

Why bother, when democrat politics, welfare state economics, and garden variety television will do the job so much more effectively? LSD wears off after a few hours, but The Great Society's effects are forever. (Or damned close to it.)

Well, that explains Gore Country... not too many wells in Gore Country, all public water distribution systems...

If terrorists didn't consider something as simple as water before they will now... and thanks to the press they have some initial ideas.

Chlorine breaks it down.
