I sincerely hope you are right. My wife actually said she wanted a gas-mask, but I think it is essentially ridiculous. For one thing, I believe they would have to be the "right" kind for specific agents.

I doubt that there are any gas masks to be had in Juneau anyway. It was hard enough -- i.e. impossible -- just finding an American flag.

Let's hope that biological warfare is more dangerous to those developing it and attempting to deploy it that it is to anybody else.

Not saying not to worry, but other "experts" think the germ warfare fears are overblown:
