Guest guest Posted February 16, 2003 Report Share Posted February 16, 2003 Mr. Bush had suggested along with Tom Ridge of the newly created Homeland Security Department that we p[ut plastic over our windows and seal said window with Duct (as in heating ducts) Tape in order to secure us from inhaling toxins, etc. in case of chemical or bioterrorist attack. This would probably kill us as totally sealed houses build up radon gas which can be lethal, and there is no outlat for any carbon monoxide, should there be any, nor gas (as in for cooking) should there be any. A little hard if you are living in a warm climate, and inneffective and all of the above hazards if you are living in a cold climate, and not likely to work in a very wet climate. The suggestion has been withdrawn by the Homeland Security Department. The country no longer has en ough gas masks to use as was done during WWII. Besides, the CDC had announced a nation-wide vaccination program which we have to date not heard a word about anyway. The whole thing may well fall in to the category of stupid suggestions by uninformed politicians, no mat ter what their party, affiliation, common sense in their private lives. As peace rallies occur all ove the planet this week, I put my hope there, having and adult child of my own in the us army!
