RE: dirty bomb
I think the suggested use of radioactive material is much more effective as
a terrorist weapon. Look at all the traffic in the news and this list alone
that has discussed the issue. We are spending massive amounts of money on
radiation detection equipment. Yet there has not been any proof that
radioactive material has ever been diverted by terrorists. Resources
should be spent on intelligence gathering to determine what they are doing,
not what we think they are going to do.
Get a grip on it.

How about terrorists dispersing a poison gas into the ventilation
system of large buildings, or into a basketball arena. They could kill a
lot more people that way, and a lot faster.
