#1 The only problem is that the US has far more advanced DNC coding ability, if they want to make this a rush to the bomb like the Manhatten Project, I think we know the Germans didn't reach the finish line first. If the otherside even tries, the ability of the US to design and deliver such weapons dwarfs their wildest imagination.

#2 "Ethnic" weapons are bound to backfire. In the US melting pot, there are genes virtually from all over. It is more likely that US is developing measures to counteract these weapon types.

#3 Backfire? Is that some sort of racial code? Are you implying that Saxon-Americans could fall prety to an easily produced gastric bomb?

#4 This looks like a review of a novel currently on airport book shelves, "Slatewiper." http://www.slatewiper.com/

#5 There's already ethnic weapons; organizations like the NAACP, MALDEF, the Klan, etc. :)

#6 "Are you implying that Saxon-Americans could fall prety to an easily produced gastric bomb?"

Shipman, I presume you mean prey, which would not be pretty.

My client almost died of badly made burito a while ago, it was ethnic and a bomb, so there. :-)

#7 Huh, the article begins with three sentences talking about fantasy "ethnic weapons", quoting no one, and then goes on to discuss only general bioweapons. Scare-mongering? Nawwwww.

I looked up the report on the BMA's web page. Apparently, it costs ten pounds. A helpful footnote tells us the part about ethnic weapons begins on page 86, but I don't expect to read quotes from it in the papers.
