Unfortunately, a gas mask won't do you much good in the event of a large-scale bioterrorist attack. The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, alerted the world to the realities of new terrorist threats. Startling images of the Twin Towers falling are indelible. May have overshadowed the events that occurred just a week later. From a public mailbox in New Jersey, letters that contained anthrax spores were mailed to two U.S. The attack killed five people. Bioterrorism -- the purposeful release of bacteria, viruses or germs to cause injury, illness or death -- became a reality in the United States. The three ways a terrorist can release biological agents is through air, water or food. These agents are typically very difficult to detect and because the illnesses they cause are usually delayed, it makes bioterrorism a hard crime to investigate. In fact, the anthrax case of 2001 remains unsolved. Human bodies infected with plague were also used as ammunition in central Europe during the 14th and 15th centuries.
