I still haven't seen a real answer to the question of whether or not duct tape and plastic sheeting will do any good. Bio attacks are going to be passed person to person. A dirty/chemical bomb is not going to do much beyond a localized area. And if you are close enough are you really going to have enough time to make a safe room?

Seems to me the best bet is to drive away from the danger and not worry about a bio attack because by the time we figure it out it will be too late. Any opinions?

Re: bio attack. This may provide some temporary shelter if there is sufficent warning. This precaution is actually more for a radiological or chemical weapon. Dribving away from a chemical attack while it is still in the air might be very very risky when one could sit out the attack for a day or two and come out safely depending upon the nature of the Chem weapon used.
