Phil -



Having met with these folks, I feel pretty comfortable with their capabilities for chem and bio events, less so for rad ... but they do have some cool toys. But they'll be the first to tell you that they're not there to take charge ... their just another asset to be used by the Incident Commander, whoever he or she may be.



Again, my $0.02 worth ...

In the US, If terrorist involvement is suspected, there's good chance that a 

National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team would get 

involved, especially if radiological, biologocal, or chemical agents are 

suspected.  They have radiation detectors, and I can speak for several teams 

that are pretty well trained in radiological issues.
