Non-Toxic Gas to Be Deployed in 100 NYC Locations in Bio-Attack Readiness Test

It seems like conspiracy theories are becoming occam&#x27;s razor. Something is being hidden from all of this bioweapon stuff. I don&#x27;t recall any terrorists having access to expensive labs that would allow them to develop dangerous bioweapons without them dying from it first.

Is this really the best way to study this? First of all you can do this only infrequently, you need special equipment to measure the gas at specific locations and you will fuel conspiracies about the gas and possibly cause panic if the gas is visible to those who are not informed.<p>Instead you could spend the money to build an accurate computer model and simulate hundreds of possibilities, different wind directions, traffic conditions etc.
