Curious terror target. A hospital? You can't kill a large number of people in a small space at a hospital...not easily.

...It is worth noting that some of the terrorists captured have turned out to be physicians.

Illinois is not far from Michigan.

There are helicopters at many hospitals.

Pali terrorists have started trying to make use of ambulances.

Teaching hospitals have auditoriums with meetings of large numbers of personnel.

Still, other targets would be easier and more effective.

Has it crossed anyone's mind that just making themselves apparent, then disappearing, is a kind of terror in and of itself?

But, you could infect a lot of people who would go back into the community and infect others.

OR, you could incapacitate all the regional hospitals before a terror attack so there are few to no services available for the injured.

OR, you could have a hostage situation like Beslen.

Hospital labs contain much hazardous materials (chemical and biological and nuclear) that could be dangerous in the hands of persons expert in their use and misuse and effective for use in other-than a hospital setting.

We have to change our mindset that 'this' or 'that' or 'whatever' doesn't makes sense. Neither did box cutters on 4 airliners.
