Alternate theory: al-Qaeda used planes because planes exist here in the real world, and weaponized Anthrax bombs that can kill 100,000 people don't.

- btilly 13y agoThe effectiveness of biological warfare lead to major world powers accumulating hundreds of tons of such weapons, considering what would happen if they used them, then signing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_Weapons_Convention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_Weapons_Convention and destroying them. (It is, admittedly, easier to give up one "ultimate weapon" when you retain your supplies of another. And in warfare there is no question that nuclear bombs are more useful than biological weapons because they act immediately.) The capacity to create them again exists and takes little resources in theory. Doing it effectively and actually having it work the first time you try is another story. There is no question that al qaeda can find people who could try, but the probability of success is a different story.
