Forster Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2013 9:30 AM To: Bill Dailey Cc: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Man killed in quartz crystal accident It's a matter of perception of risk. Opponents of nuclear power have successfully propagandized risks out of all proportion compared to other risks. There are many more rational things to worry about, including a rogue state or terror group acquiring CW, BW. And, CW and BW are much easier to make/get than nuclear stuff. If you can brew beer, you can make crude BW agents. Furthermore BW spreads by itself. The world has not really seen a serious BW incident AFAIK, but antibiotic resistant strains are rampant in US healthcare. A serious BW attack would make those issues seem trivial. Furthermore, nuclear materials can be detected pretty easily. AFAIK, there are no readily available detectors for virii or bacteria. Scientists do nobody any favors by overblowing some risks to fit their political agenda. -John _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
