This is a good reason not to even turn on shows like 60 Minutes or 20/20. They have exagerated the facts on many, many subjects over the years.
Remember when they put a charge under the gas tank of a pickup truck to demonstrate how a side impact would cause the truck to explode, of course they didn't tell you about the charge, or the time that they shocked a pond with high voltage to show fish floating on the top, trying to show how poluted the ponds were. Jim 60 Minutes once had a fellow telling us that one drop of nerve gas could kill a thousand people; well, he didn't tell you the thousand dead people per drop was theoretical. Drill Sergeants exaggerate how terrible this stuff is to keep the recruits awake in class (I know this because I was a Drill Sergeant, too). Forget everything you've ever seen on TV, in the movies, or read in a novel about this stuff, it was all a lie (read this sentence again out loud)! These weapons are about terror; if you remain calm, you will probably not die. This is far less scary than the media and their "experts" make it sound.
