Gee, where have these members of congress been? so far there are advertisements for bio/chemical hazard suits in sizes from infant to 5xl, kits to make your vehicles bio and chemical hazard proof, as well as contractors who will turn your home into a sealed and monitored clean environment, complete with sanitizing shower entrances, decontamination facilities, and making the entire thing a positive pressure environment. Now, since I am actually close to building a new domestic living habitat, designed and constructed by myself and family members, I can assure you, that there will be NBC filter systems in place, (mainly because of the west texas dust storms and nobody likes to dust) positive pressure living area, walls, windows, doors, ceilings and roof components constructed of nonconducting materials with a brass mesh core, (okay, the entire house will be a large Faraday cage and thus secure against EMP) but the brass mesh in the windows looks purdy.... And yes, you can say I am a bit paranoid, but when you stop to consider that a local landmark has once more become a high number on the hit parade, can you blame me. (at least now, strategic nuclear weapons means less than a kiloton and short lived fallout, so the blast radius will be limited to five miles, shock wave will be manageable, and I am out of range of the firestorm) None of which was true when I first moved to this fair city in the sixties..... Well, the high on the list of the hit parade was true, just before the collapse of the soviet union, our local landmark and employer rated number five... behind Offut, Minot, Cheyenne Mountain and Washington DC...
