Why bother with Bioweaponry?
Biological weaponry can be fun and all- But it's slow, and can be contained; unless a large enough party deals it out. Consider all of the options?
-'Computer-virus' much more damaging. Harder to deploy, for the government facilities though, since I doubt they are in direct connection to the internet.
-'Nuclear' -The only WMD I will name here. But why? Plutonium/Uranium is simple to gather, if placed in lead containers. Crude parts can be gathered, for a low-yield bomb. The only problems? -Carrying the multi-ton device (I doubt any civilian has information from projects like the 'Davy Crocket' weapon or those nuclear mines. How about thsoe briefcase bombs, hrmm? Much easier to use, if a bit looer yield and much harder to manufacture) and actually enriching the material enough. Ick.
-Dirty Bomb- Boring idea, yes. Well publicized as what will probably happen .. *Blah blah* x..x 'But, it's a simple way to clear out a section of land for whatever reason; Economically important, military value, civillian ... so forth... just make sure you put enough radioactive material in it, or an effective material (Highly Radioactive .. Cesium, Uranium..) so ..
ElectroMagnetic Weaponry- Large radius. Barely anything is hardened nowadays. Portable. Cheap. Duh. ^^ -Anyone see that 'Popular Science' or 'Popular Mechanics' issue two years ago that described how to create a $500 EMP bomb? Useful. ^^
Conventional weapons- The truth is, guns are ineffective. If you think of conventional weapons, you think bombs, rifles, pistols, but why bother? Create an object .. let's say .. incendiary.. (Spelling?) .. Manufacture a small group of the things .. spread them out to different, but key structures (Company buildings .. military .. government .. critical civillian buildings..) and leave them for a week or two and set the things off. The point of this example? -The waiting period allows you to be left alone, since people generally tend to believe an attack is carried out moments or days after it initially occured. Not two weeks prior to the strike. (Remember, incendiary = Fire by the way. Or, simply, long term burning. So, we'd be talking about .. I dunno .. exterior or interior electronics? -Too bad wood isn't a serious construction material in most things anymore..) -And, if you still remember what I said above- there is a second reason. Conventional weapons are rarely thought of being used on a serious scale. What are the main two weapons, as said? Bombs and guns. Bombs are hard to sneak in, surely, unless you have something small (But effective) like TNT or a C4 item .. and .. well .. guns are guns. But, people generally forget there are alot more types of weaponry out there, then that..
-Humans- Manipulation, easy. Provide a good-enough sounding idea to a group of people, who believe you and are willing to take action, provide them with means of achieving this idea; that fits them all, and go forth with it.
-x-x-x-x-x-
Another thought on the manipulation 'factor', being a civillian, you have no real importance to the government. So, what? -Falsify an attack on a critical structure (Conventional?) and blame it on another group. This serves two purposes; both drawing attention away from what they should focus on (Terrorists/cults/groups in general, and whatever they used to get weapons 'Inside the country') and to make the people aware that they are vulnerable. If they are vulnerable, they will fear. And, as generally said, fear is the most effective weapon of any.
-Given, most of these will require a fairly large group to agree with what your thinking, as they only address a country or two. (I'm in the U.S., so these ideas are geared towards it's own defenses and ideas.. etc.) But .. well .. if you really want this..?
-And, I know, this goes way off the topic of Biology ... but ... eh', so what?! ^^ xD
