    Okay, I live in South Dakota, a few miles from the Iowa border and get their local channels. I just saw an ad encouraging people to come up with a plan in case of bio-terrorism. They showed a family stocking batteries and bottled water. The ad ended with the voiceover saying, "Be a hero." Then it showed a pamphlet you can call to get. As if that is going to save me from anthrax. Batteries and bottled water. My plan? Scream like hell, open up the most expensive bottle of wine I can find and tell a few people what I really think of them.

      Do you actually think that terrorists are going to target South Dakota or Iowa?! If so, stop doing LSD. Put yourself in their shoes, what gets more bang for the buck...blowing up Chicago with nuke, or destroying a farm (with the lovely Leckey "manning" a combine) in Iowa? Hmmm....ummmm...well...I guess....yeah, Chicago.

      Sounds like something that should be done regardless of whether terrorists are about to kill you or not! josh

          Hey Leckey, You'd probably get much faster response time on questions posted to the forums if your screenname had a feminine ring to it. Most of the developers I know are guys, and many of those guys are single. Single guys are much more likely to be responsive to females than males. In fact, I think I'll change my screenname to Joshette Smith... Joshette

                  This akin to the Survive Nuclear attack ads in the 1950's ,where you see families being told to put blankets over their heads etc. Who was funding the ad ? Regards Ray "Je Suis Mort De Rire" Blogging @ Keratoconus Watch

                    Contrary to popular doomsbelief, this things are survivable. Atomic blast: If you survive the initial blast, can shield yourself from the direct radiation, can avoid to inhale and wash off the radioactive dust, can avoid the fallout (which is, again, radioactive dust that moves with the wind), and have access to uncontamined water + food, you have a fair chance to survive. Chemical / Biological weapons: distribution is they key. The problem with an anthrax attack is not the anthrax, but getting it distributed. If you know what's coming at you, and you can avoid it, and you have access to uncontamined water and food, you have a fair chance.

                              FWIW, there have already been small anthrax attacks in the USA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cases_of_anthrax[^] Far as I know, inhalation anthrax is survivable if treated in time. The problem is that it generally isn't caught before it's too late.
