I grasp the concept that America has endured bio-terror attacks for some 350 years.

Sure. So do I. But do you grasp that if you divide the total number of those victims by 350 you'll come up with fewer victims per year than die from being crushed by a piece of household furniture? Tell me that you also obsess over the threat from your furniture and I'll appreciate your obsessing over potential bio attacks. Otherwise I'm left scratching my head.

Let me ask you this. There are 253 bookmarks for this thread, mostly in the US. What do you suppose the odds are that even one of us will be a victim of a terrorist bio attack in the next year? If I offered to bet you that none would be, would you take the bet? If you would, what odds would you want from me? A million to one, maybe? More?
