The United States remains woefully unprepared to protect the public against terrorists wielding biological agents despite dramatic increases in biodefense spending by the Bush administration and considerable progress on many fronts, according to government officials and specialists in bioterrorism and public health.

I agree. I have written and spoken about just that extensively since Dec 2001.

Any amount of federal preparation is going to be woefully inadequate against some/most bio agents.

IMO the two most effecive measures we can employ are to:
1. Continue to take the fight to the terrorists off-shore. We are doing that today in over 60 countries.
2. Learn about the most likely bio- agents and make personal plans to survive them.
