Blowing up things is not the only way to engage in terrorism or for one country to attack another.  There are many ways people can choose to murder and destroy.  If a small group of people work together than they can cause massive deaths and cripple a country, even by using common diseases.

Consider if they just worked to alter the flu virus, or otherwise get their hands on a different flu strain, what kind of damage they could do.  First they would create a large batch of the disease, or diseases, which they plan to use or simply infect themselves for their disease source.  If the diseases they use are transferable through skin contact than they could have several people in different cities act on the same day to go into bus and train terminals, airports, and even malls and skyscrapers to apply the diseases to door handles and flush handles in busy washrooms.  They might even pose as cleaners to allay suspicion, and could return many times over days or even weeks to refresh the contagion sources.  Or they could hand out simple flyers that are coated with the diseases.  If the diseases need to be breathed in then they could simply set up a sprayer under their clothes and mingle among groups of people to occasionally spray some up into the air, or set up sprayers disguised as air fresheners above busy areas.  Using more than one disease at the same time would increase the potential damage they could do and would add to the confusion.

The infected people would then carry the diseases throughout the country, and worldwide, and pass them along to others who will do the same.  By the time the diseases start showing themselves as a threat a large percentage of the population can have been exposed to them.  Even if the medical authorities instantly spot the new flu strain(s) or other diseases, or even instantly come up with a cure for the diseases, the hospitals would soon become overwhelmed with the sick and dying and the economy would quickly suffer too.  Then people’s rights would be restricted as authorities would try to reduce the spread of the diseases and to maintain a semblance of control over the situation, which of course will cause even more upheaval in the country.  As the various systems that support our society reduce in their ability to function, the upheavals and rioting will increase to cause an even greater failure of our society.

Massive numbers of people have weakened  immune systems due to things like AIDS and the deliberate immune suppressant methods medical authorities have been using for organ donors and other over-stimulated immune system diseases, which will make it that much easier for the diseases to spread like wildfire through certain countries.

Even without the terrorists, or an attack from another country, the opportunity for diseases that quickly become infectious while only displaying cold like symptoms for a week or more before causing severe distress can fly through our populations.  And these diseases can originate from anywhere in the world to spread quickly around the world with the massive amount of traveling mankind is doing today.  Our country, or entire civilization, can be brought to its knees within days or weeks under the right set of circumstances.  A disease can take weeks or even months after the original infection of the person before then becoming lethal, yet it could become contagious to others within hours or days.

So, do you still believe in the works of man and his great scientist gods to protect and save you?

Ah, the joys of mans’ perfect governments, his perfect economies, and his perfect sciences that will solve everything delusions.
