It would be exceedingly hard for a ragtag group to kill 10,000 to 100,000 Americans.

Hard yes, exceedingly Yes also, impossible no.

Sadly, you may live to see it, then again you may not.

Whether or not an Iraqi BWMD could kill 10-100K, it could certainly wreck our economy.

The anthrax warning attack in 10-2001 consisted of a total of 3 grams.

Imagine an attack on our transportation and postal system, with 100s of leaky one kilo packages being mailed via USPS, UPS and FedEx on the same day.

Imagine dozens of one kilo glass jars of spores being thrown onto subway tracks in our ten biggest cities.

Imagine kilos of anthrax being trailed out of leaky trouser pockets by jihadists in our ten largest airports.

Tell me how we prevent that, if Saddam has already smuggled a few 100 kilos of anthrax into the USA?

And how hard is it to smuggle in 100 kilos of white powder? Tons of cocaine come in every month.
