1. An international terrorist organization has established operations in Mexico and has purchased a well-known crop dusting franchise located in Tamaulipas, Mexico. The purpose of the purchase is to enable the organization to unleash chemical agents against specific targets in the United States. Can the small planes cross the U.S. border undetected as well as penetrate the unsuspecting targets without fear of attack from U.S. defensive measures? What impact would such actions have on future defensive measures by the United States or any other country?

2. Terrorist organizations in Afghanistan want to systematically eliminate United Nations forces from each location in Afghanistan and know that small arms fire and high explosives, although effective, will fall short of forcing enemy troops to leave; however, they have tons of sarin gas that could, if properly placed and activated, based on the prevailing winds, effectively destroy the troop concentrations in each location; especially if simultaneous attacks were unleashed across the country.

How can we mitigate such attacks and develop strategies to prevent such attacks or at least properly respond to diminish the effects of the gas?
