weapons of mass destruction should not get into hostile hands
certain countries use weapons of mass destruction as a deterant to war, while some countries use weapons of mass destruction to threaten war. If these weapons of mass destruction get into the wrong hands of say extremists with an agenda, it is the duty of the world to take the weapons of mass destruction out of their hands.
United states of America and the tiny state of Israel have weapons of mass destruction to protect themselves. When the soviet union broke apart, all the weapons of mass destruction in the former soviet union became vulnerable to theft. We no longer know who owns what.
Weapons of mass destruction stolen include: chemical and biological weapons, nuclear materials, and certain hardware like parts and electronics.
Lord of War and other movies portrayed the high value in theft and the desire for countries to aqquire weapons of mass destruction, even at the cost of the lives of their own people.
Obtaining a biological mask may be futile if everything is contaminated for hundreds of years with nuclear material. If its chemical warfare, you may have a chance.
Psychoactive Agents Research Chemical Warfare Edgewood Maryland 1950s US Army
Beginning in the mid-1950s, the U.S. Army conducted research involving thousands of human subjects on various chemical agents, including LSD, BZ and marijuana derivatives, to assess their utility for chemical warfare applications. Army doctors gave soldier volunteers synthetic marijuana, LSD, BZ and other psychoactive drugs during experiments aimed at developing chemical weapons that could incapacitate enemy soldiers. The program, which ran at the Army’s Edgewood, Md., arsenal from 1955 until about 1972, concluded that counterculture staples such as acid and pot were either too unpredictable or too mellow to be useful as weapons. One of the leading participants in that enterprise, Dr. James S. Ketchum, has published a memoir entitled “Chemical Warfare: Secrets Almost Forgotten.” (http://www.forgottensecrets.net/ ), a detailed autobiographical reconstruction of the Edgewood Arsenal program of evaluating possible incapacitating agents in human volunteers (enlisted men) during the 1960s. This clip is from the 1950s episode, the Unseen Weapon, from the The Big Picture documentary television program which ran on the American Broadcasting Company from 1953 to 1959. The program consisted of documentary films produced by the United States Army Signal Corps Army Pictorial Service

How should the USA get rid of its chemical weapons?
"The US army has said that it was missing a deadline to destroy its chemical weapons stockpile and proposed to blow some of them up to save time."
http://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/index.php/news/content/view/full/87030
"It suggested using explosives to destroy some of the cold war-era weapons, which contain some of the nastiest compounds ever made."
Great question! This issue is almost as old as I am. When the Chemical Weapons Convention was ratified by the US and all other major countries of the world, the Department of Defense sought a best manner in which to de-militarize the weapons, and looked at different options. One was to use neutralizing chemicals to render the agents less toxic. Notice I said "less toxic" and not safe, because once you neutralize the agent it is still quite dangerous and must be handles and disposed of as toxic waste. That was very costly, cumbersome and local communities raised holy heck over having even more dangerous chemicals in the communities. Thus, in most cases chemical neutralization was not an option.
A better option was to use a high temperature incinerator to destroy the agents. This is very effective, destroys all known chemical agents and through the use of smoke scubbers and filtration release nothing back into the atmosphere. This has been used but unfortunately, two states raised complaints about the disposal and filed legal charges to halt the process.
Thus we sit here today with chemical weapons that were supposed to be processed 10 years ago, still sitting there, still leaking and corroding and presenting a serious problem to us. The military should be allowed to either process them in place or transport them to one of the functional incinerators for disposition. Then this will be a done deal.
