I just had a terrible thought.

If a terrorist wanted to do maximum harm with a biological weapon, the best possible place to do this would be the Vatican right now.

Brrrr.

I really hope they have better security than it appears that they do.

1. They would wait until the dingitaries arrive

They could wipe out a large percentage of the world's leaders in one fell swoop that way.

4. I'm thinking something with an incubation time.

Remember these pilgrims will all travel home in the next four days... So it would not matter when they spread it, the world leaders would be infected by those already there.

Everybody goes home, and suddenly the bio-terror agent hits all around the world at the same time.

I really hope this has been thought of by those who can monitor such things. I really hope that Homeland Security has flown over bio-agent sniffers.

5. One person who is infected with Small Pox would destroy the planet

and all they need to get the small pox virus is to dig up some body that died of small pox.

2. You don't think the Swiss Guard is adequate security?

Me, neither.

[Enraged_Ape]

3. You mean these guys?

Don't let the Hot-Dog-On-A-Stick uniforms fool you. These guys are tough!!

[porphyrian]

8. Don't be fooled...

They can fuck people up with those halberds.

[Enraged_Ape]

11. And they make a MEAN corn dog

Their fresh lemonade alone will knock you over.

[Heidi]

14. Oh, ya'll are mean!

There are Catholic boys in our village who dream of becoming members of the Swiss Guard. Many are called. Few are chosen.

15. yum corn dogs

damn now I'm hungry

17. "We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind"

whoa!

[Enraged_Ape]

18. LOL

I actually get that reference.

"Dansé!"

[Cleita]

6. The security would be very good. It isn't just the Vatican

but Italian and other European police agencies that would be involved. They've done it before, even during very treacherous times, like during the cold war when terrorist bombings were very much a fact then as now. They could make it safer though by requesting that BushCo stay home.

[Javaman]

19. That is of course none of our SS men shoot any of the Italian SS men

at any of the road blocks.

[Danocrat]

7. They have mobilized the Italian Army

[Squeech]

13. HAHAHAHAHA

Hey George! Give him a nickname, see if he behaves any better!

[mattclearing]

20. That is funny.

Like, GWB: "Mind if we invade in June?"

AK: "I'm busy in June. What's your July like?"

[info being]

9. You've been reading Dan Brown?

[benburch]

10. Nope. Should I?

Always looking for things to read.

[The White Tree]

12. Sadly, I've been thinking that for several days

and hoping and praying that they have enough respect to do nothing or are otherwise foiled in any attempt.

That would serve noones purpose, even their own.

[dhinojosa]

16. You are right.....

I didn't think about that either.
