Get with it: this is the 90s.
To do an anthrax sim, you'd need to integrate a wind map, and pick
a ridge upwind from a city.
To do a sarin sim, you find a submap map for the city of your choice,
and pick a terminal and time of day.
I'm looking forward to the VRML Dallas site, where you get to interactively
place your shooters, pick their skill levels, etc. With individually rendered
leaves in the grassy knoll.
