Chemical - Biological - Radiological - Nuclear

This set of threats represent the worst of the worst case scenarios.  But are
they something we really need to worry about?  Short answer: YES.  They are
written here in no particular order in regards to severity, all being
potentially catastrophic.  A chemical might be a deadly nerve agent that kills
thousands, a biological threat could kill millions with some currently present
germ or an engineered germ.  Radiological threats would be Alpha, Beta, and
Gamma radiation, the worst of these being Gamma radiation that can rip through
several meters of concrete (not exaggerating).  Nuclear threats are the ones
thought to be the most dangerous of all.  With nuclear war its not just the
people that die but the world itself.  You could take out a middlee-sized
nation with a single bomb.  Chemicals are the most easy to procure.  You could
hire a grad student at a university who is sympathetic to a certain terrorist
cause and make something that if inhaled could literally kill multiple
thousands of people in a single attack.

There are so many ways CBRN attacks could go.  Be prepared as far as possible
and trust but verify the questionable things in this world.  The best option
to deal with CBRN threats is through prevention.  An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure.  If terrorists were reached out with the Christian
Gospel for example, before they were radicalized what they do would not have
been done.  People have a need to be a part of something special, so give
them something special to do.  The world will thank you for it.

Best regards,
