I'd fear an "anthrax bomb" a lot more than a 2 KT suitcase nuke. (If I lived in a crowded target zone, aka a soft target, which I don't.) [snip]
Amen.
By comparison, anthrax bacillus is relatively easy to manufacture, and aerosol dispersion could kill hundreds of thousands or more before even being detected. Aerosolized dispersion in Washington or Manhattan could be a far worse human and infrastructure disaster than a suitcase nuke.
I expect this sort of attack to occur fairly soon.
I'm pretty surprised that someone has posted practical steps for obtaining, culturing. preparation and manufacture of inexpensive aerosol generators. --Steve
