Frightening of America or a valid warning and worry?
It's definitely something that concerns me and I don't have kids.
It's probably a valid enough concern--but then, how can the government possibly safeguard us against every possible thing? Schools, yes, but also water supplies, power, and on and on. At some point, Americans are going to have to get serious about the WOT on their own. The government can only do so much.
I think we have enough evidence that terrorists will do ANYTHING. This scenario laid out by the author is one that is quite plausible. The only way to combat this is to round up all Arabs/muslims and put them through a screening process to find out who is friend or foe and secure our borders. Will this happen? Only once this the this scenario actually happens and the sheeple of this country open up their eyes to the fact that islamo fascists want us dead.

Fuss and Feathers
Pandemic panic over the avian flu.
by Michael Fumento

"But the winner in this grim game of one-upmanship is Dr. Irwin Redlener, director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University, who claimed on ABC News's Primetime on September 15, "We could have a billion people dying worldwide."
"When I later questioned him on this figure, he rather sheepishly admitted he meant to say "one billion ill." Quite a faux pas."

One can be an alarmist like Redlener who said we could have a billion die from avian flu (see above) and he could still describe a horrendous situation at a school, but I see it as a possibility, not as much as a probability.
