[net.misc] non-nuke terror

bentonh (02/07/83)

    After all the discussion on the possible uses of the
re-entering russian satellite to terrorists, I began to
wonder about other materials they might put to use, with
similar mass hysteria capabilities.

    One that came to mind, would be to make Phosgene gas.
(Yes, you too can make nerve-gas in the privacy of your
own basement!) While it might not cause quite the scare
the threat of a nuclear weapon might, it would rank right
up there, and the materials are so much more easily obtained.

    So what sez the net. Are there other tricks the
terrorists have missed? What's your favorite panic? Are
there things more frightening to you then hard radiation?

    Anyone know where I can get a copy of 'The Anarchist's
Handbook' or whatever it's called? Anybody read it? Anybody
ever tried any of the recipes?

    And a parting cheap shot:

    Personally, Jerry Falwell and his moral midgets scare
me one hell of a lot more the the Red Brigades since he
and his bunch are far more likely to impinge upon my life,
and life style. Meeting with either group would no doubt
be quite unpleasant.
