Brad Arnold: Individuals can now construct highly contagious virus - PRAVDA.Ru: "'In truth, it is possible to imagine a malicious use for virtually any biological research or production site. The difference between a lab for producing lifesaving vaccines and one capable of making deadly toxins is largely one of intent.' ('Terrorism and the Biology Lab' by Henry C. Kelly, New York Times, July 2, 2003)
I estimate it is over ten times easier to construct a highly contagious virus than it is to enrich uranium using the gas centrifuge method.
I estimate it is over ten times easier to set up a biological chain reaction with a highly contagious virus than it is to set up a nuclear chain reaction with a sufficient quantity of enriched uranium."
