Since the media has decided to scare everyone with predictions of chemical, biological, or nuclear warfare on our turf I decided to write a paper and keep things in their proper perspective. I am a retired military weapons, munitions, and training expert.

Lesson number one: In the mid 1990s there were a series of nerve gas attacks on crowded Japanese subway stations. Given perfect conditions for an attack less than 10% of the people there were injured (the injured were better in a few hours) and only one percent of the injured died.

60 Minutes once had a fellow telling us that one drop of nerve gas could kill a thousand people, well he didn't tell you the thousand dead people per drop was theoretical.

Drill Sergeants exaggerate how terrible this stuff was to keep the recruits awake in class (I know this because I was a Drill Sergeant too). Forget everything you've ever seen on TV, in the movies, or read in a novel about this stuff, it was all a lie (read this sentence again out loud!). These weapons are about terror, if you remain calm, you will probably not die. This is far less scary than the media and their "Experts," make it sound.

You know, even if a terrorist attack is possible at Walt Disney World, which of course it is... I think that it is pointless to "worry" about it. After the first attack, I had to fly on business about two weeks afterward and everyone kept saying to me, "aren't you scared to fly?" I told them no. I am not going to lock myself up in my house for the rest of my life and be afraid to do the simpliest task. I didn't cancel any vacation plans, I'm spending just as much money as I did before our economy got hit (we just bought a house) and I am certainly not going to be afraid of going to the happiest place on Earth.

I went to WDW right after the attacks...Was I nervous about flying? You bet your little hiney I was...but...was I gonna let it stop me??? NOPE.

I was going to WDW...a fantasy place to escape the troubles and stresses of reality...So...what BETTER time?

Same here... I was there right after 9/11 (a week after the FAA's ground stop was liftied) I had booked my trip a month earlier... and I was not going to cancel it.....

And... I was in Epcot on one of the Friendship Boats on WS lagoon when the president made his speach stating "Go to Disney World" ... and the boat captain told us about it...it was kinda neat.

My mom flew the day the day they resumed flights. She was nice enough to call us from the sky phone and scare the hell out of us.
