Thanks for the article Tom-
I always appreciate in depth articles with real meat for details, esp, those uncovered from secrecy.
Lord knows Iraq; and many  other locations in numerous nations, have become dirty bomb dumps. Worse yet, how our troops hazardous Units, have to do all the clean up, more or less.
Mustard Gas, SCUDS, by product of WWI, supposedly banned, yet to many to count. NTM-those effected by removal/clean up efforts. I can never forget knowing 1 to many good men, who were victims of Napalm in Nam, as well as other hush hush clean up efforts, in other War torn Nations.
It's nothing new to me, yet always a deep concern. As you pointed out well Tom, ISIS, or any other terrorist organizations, (I don't doubt for a moment); have their hands on many 'kicked by the roadside' Shells ie, Launch Platforms.
The perfect tool to incite/distribute a new age of chemical/bio-logical War Fare.
I heard a year or so ago,  the H1N1 is but 1 mutation away from using as a bio-logical WMD. I bet that mutation is now complete too, what data have you seen on the H1N1 mutation?
I have no doubt you have a better pulse on current sources of data/details, beyond what I have seen in this last decade of retirement.
 I'm sure you'd agree, the antique germ-Ebola can now be used as a WMD, without even adding Ebola to a Launch Platform. Since our ignorant Prez, turns blind eyes to simply letting those infected Ebola human hosts to enter the Nation on a Commercial Jet, ie, Launch Platform in its own rites....
 wouldn't you agree, such ancient germ warfare, such as Bubonic, Yersinia Pestis, Ebola, or more current: Anthrax, AIDS, and a ton of other nasty deadly germs, as well as Chemical agents, such as Mustard Gas, are probably the next round of International Terror. I have no doubt this is our current condition, of which so much, to much is kept hush hush. Which is IMO not good policy at any level. We all have the need to know of upcoming threats, albeit even with old germ/chemical agents, being delivered 1st hand by our own citizens, into our Nation, let alone Jihadist....!
I've long thought most of my life, its a damn good thing Jihadist don't have Hyrdrazine, plutonium, uranium,  beryllium, and/or Nuclear Components, but in fact they do; I believe. Iran's Nuclear capability if you've noticed under Obuma, has been kept quiet, since the last American/Israeli covert destruction of nuclear  enrichment facilities; by simply re-programming equipment. I haven't heard a Public Statement on as much in too long now. I'd not be surprised with anything these days. In fact, I've been awaiting for a Nuke or Chemical/bio-logical strike/delivery to Western Nations.
With The Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the break up of the U.S.S.R., Iran, Al Qaeda, Taliban, ISIS/ISIL, N. Korea, and numerous others. Who's to tell Americans the truth of the matter, publicly? It sure as Hell isn't our Politicians, these days; to make transparent any and all results, of missing Materials and/or Launch Platforms from such Groups.
I would not be surprised to hear "publicly"; in years to come, how such weapons have indeed fallen into Jihadist or anti-Western terrorists hands, quit some time ago....! If not, its only a matter of time, IMO....! The threat(s) are real; for any one to assume anything less, at this point would be naivete, IMO. Perhaps, with no paranoia, beyond my wildest imagination(s).....
"Yukon; Great North-woods or Bust"
Hell, I'd settle for a 1 way ticket, cabin or cave in the Hudson Bay......! Who said "Doomsday Preppers" were Paranoid, or simply know more than some are letting on? Makes 1 wonder to say the least...!
