The unfortunate fact is that bio or chemical terrorism is an impending danger. As is usually the case Americans don't see the problem till it becomes obvious.

biological destruction of agriculture

Year after year in the early 1990s, for example, geminiviruses destroyed up to 95% of the tomato harvest in the Dominican Republic, and in just the 1991-92 growing season in Florida, they caused $140 million in damage to the tomato crop.
