re: #235 Obdicut

Well, that’s exactly what I mean. Delivery of chemical weapons is very, very complicated. They’re, in general, more ineffective than explosives in nearly every way, and I’d rather a terrorist group spent money on a chemical warhead with a high chance of not working and a lower death toll than a conventional weapon that would, for the same amount of money, cause more death and destruction.

Agreed. However, I think you’re discounting the effects and costs of the fear of chemical weapons. We are pretty well trained to freak out over bad guys with their hands on any NBC weapons. Ordinary weapons? Not as much.
