Ah..you had those "duck and cover" drills, too? I always pictured a schoolful of children, with desks melted to their backs, wandering around outside after the "all clear" sounded. Nuclear Turtles.
Good description! Skin to match, too. Kris

Duct tape and plastic on your windows??? Please! We are talking about chemical and bioligical agents. They are microscopic. They can seep in through open or closed vents through your heating and air units.

i never enjoyed that movie true crime is somewhat better in True Crime rage proved to be the solution to the crime. Clint came to the door of the grandma of one of the cleared witnesses. she accused him of being a bigot, as he suspected her grandson not the other two white witnesses. some pretty good writing here, arguments about guilt and real guilt. arguments about caring and real caring. She informed clint he could not speak to her grandson as he died, all the while she fingered a gold locket…suggesting that this piece of jewerly had some sort of significance in her memory of him the news carried a picture of the slain girl with a voice over from the dad typical argument justifying why the brutal murderer should be killed for his crime. in a drunk Clint eastwood looked up and noticed the slain girl was wearing the same locket as the grandmom of the cleared witness. so he puts two and two together and realizes that the locket came from the dead girl and that the cleared witness was the murderer and that he had given his grandma this bootylooty as a gift there were some pretty dumb scenes in there about clint arguing with an editor and with Dennis Leary. I still cannot figure out what job leary had maybe editor. Clint was fired on the spot. I cannot imagine they fired him because of the story itself it seemed more as if it was due to lack of control, as he had insulted dennis leary by saying that he should go home and beat his wife because she likes it. This seemed not only confusing in the story line. more importantly, it was such a bizarre cheap shot. The strangest cheap shot was when Michael mcKean the minister reported to everyone that the convicted guy had confessed that he had murdered the girl. The warden chewed him out for making him look bad, i guess because the warden had expressed some modicum of belief that the criminal was in fact innocent. For some bizarre reason, they shone a cone of light on McKean as he insisted he would stand by the convicts in their time of need, the cone of light highlighting some implied but unexplained saintliness. I half expected him to be beamed up

First, biological agents are only microscopic on the cellular scale. They aren’t microscopic as dispersed. Dispersal of biological weapons over a wide area is an incredibly difficult process, and the likelihood of someone being able to do it in a fashion where it would permeate every structure in a wide area is incredibly small. Second, the idea isn’t to totally block infiltration if someone sets off a chemical or biological warhead next door, the idea is to block infiltration to enough of a degree to prevent contamination for people downwind in the fairly brief period of time the agents remain airborne in sufficient concentrations to present significant risk. This doesn’t take a house that’s totally airtight, it just requires a minimum of protection for a fairly short period of time. It wouldn’t protect the people next door to a chemical release, but it isn’t practical to try to protect everyone. Providing relatively minimal protection measures would protect most people in the event of an attack. Richard Ward

I was wondering if anyone who frequents this NG is selling duct tape and/or plastic sheets, and if so, whether they have seen an increase in their sales of these items following the federal government’s recommendations for citizens to prepare for terrorist attacks. Just curious.
Duct tape? Check. Plastic Sheets? Check. Gerbils? Check. To reply, remove TheObvious from my e-mail address.

(Sorry about that, but I just couldn’t resist)
The pun would work either way, since one of the larger manufacturers of duct tape sells under the brand name "Duck Tape".
