ScaremongeringPosted By Mel Maki |
A dirty bomb in one of our large ports is set off. It kills some people in the port and contaminates a larger area. A million people will panic, grab some family and a few items, and try to leave town. Gridlock. Violence. Where will they go if they make it out of town? The ports will be shut down. Panic buying will empty the stores. Goods and services will not be available. Total civil disorder in a large city? Hundreds die. Thousands? People will be screaming for a response. Politicians will shoulder their way to a camera talking tougher than the last one and will give them one. If enough Americans were killed the military response could be large.
I understand a dirty bomb is not that difficult. Still, is this just scaremongering?
