is this the same where its used as an excuse to inject us with GPS technology while confirming our SSI #, or is it the one where the aliens use this as an excuse to catalogue the "tasty" ones? - wheres my reynolds wrap

Preposterous. Five days? The United States government could not FIND all Americans in a YEAR. Remember the 2000 Census?

A pipe dream.

I do hope this is true. Smallpox is the one bio agent that is truly a threat. It is a wretched disease, spreads rapidly and while preventable, children have not been immunized for it in about 30 years, which means there is a lot of people succeptable to it. This is, other than perhaps ebola, the weapon of choice I would think to cause terror.

I've been reading rhrough this thread and haven't seen any reference to the history of the disease and how it was eradicated. Everyone seems to think the disease spreads like wildfire, but in fact it is rather slow.

During the early 1970s a team of about 100 people eliminated the disease by traveling from town to town where the disease was reported. Rather than immunize everyone, they concentrated on those who had been in contact with the people who had the disease. The total number of people immunized was a fraction of one percent of the world's population.

It seems like a rather odd choice of weapons, except for suicidal madmen. It doesn't kill any of the enemy soldiers and politicians; just ticks 'em off real bad, leaving them alive and healthy enough to glassify your cities.

I do believe the current build-up against Iraq is a message, that they will be next, immediately after the next terrorist attack.
