I think it's ridiculous they can actually keep them "secret" while still remaining legal.

Really? What do you call Sarin gas?

You should know I have extensive training in such issues.

Hell so do I, as an epidemiologist who specializes in biological weapons I can most certainly say ol' Saddam did have stockpiles of many nasty bugs and toxins; just cause we can't find them doesn't mean they never existed.

I could bury a 60-gallon vat of Botulism Toxin in my backyard somewhere, and it would still take Hans Blix a few days to find it (I'm on a couple acres). Now, if it takes a few days to find it in my backyard, how long will it take to find it in a country the size of Iraq?

Well for the record I have battlefield-type training in NBC detectionand defense...

.. that is to say- NOWHERE near what you know, doc ;)

I've been trying to get my employers to splurge for the HAZMAT training they do in Alabama, which I hear is phenominal. Put you in a suit, put you in a gas chamber, fill it with gas, then make you do tasks in all your PPE to get used to functioning in it.

The battlefield training would be amazing as well.

They put us in the CS chamber with CS so thick you could barely see the instructor. Then, they made us take the mask off and do some PT.

Evil bastards.

More evil- some dumbass put a telephone pole immediately outside the ext of the chamber for no good reason. We had 4 guys in my company in boot meet said pole at a gallop. DING!

The actual qualifier classes were even more daunting.
