The biological/chemical threat is way overblown by the media. Those weapons are very difficult to obtain, very dangerous to transport, very difficult to deploy, and easy to contain. If they are used we have made it clear to the world (though rarely publicly) that we may respond with nucleur weapons. They do have a big psycological impact though. Remember, Saddam tried to develop and use all these weapons, and even though he used alot of chemical weapons against the Iranians the bottom line was that 7,000 Iranian troops were killed in that 10 year war from checmical weapons while hundreds of thousands died in battle.There will be more terrorist acts in the US. The likely targets are those where the security is lightest but there's a great congregation of people. Be careful, use your instincts , but know that the chances of being directly affected by the terrorist is incredibly remote.
