Nuclear war? (56)

I'm still thinking aerosol delivery. Public water supplies, at least in developed countries, tend to be fairly well fortified and the authorities would take notice if they were compromised in any way, especially with war looming. Considering that we are mostly all about attacking less developed countries, the people there are less likely to drink water from the tap. LSD in their water might be considered an improvement, since it might kill cholera in high concentrations. On that note, if the concentration is high enough, it should only take a hand-washing... but if the concentration is that high, then aren't you as the attacker more likely to be found out? You would have to dump a sufficient amount to overcome local alkalinity in the water supply, wouldn't you? Would simple filtration systems be likely to remove it from the supply? What if the country is sufficiently backwards that everyone is hauling up buckets from the family well?

Maybe it would be something to just attack a few food supplies or troops with an aerosol spray. Again, >>43 is right, you only need to have so many go nuts to have widespread chaos. There's some instances of whole German villages going mad when just a few ate rye infested with ergot... they weren't all tripping, but it breeds hysteria.
