kezza: well two things... first, i'd look at those tanks as deterrent, most military action is intended just for that purpose. second, it's *very* hard to deploy a chemical weapon and have it be really effective. a guy with no education, fresh out of the desert, can't just drop a chemical weapon on the street and expect it to do any damage beyond a few metres. they have to be very carefully placed with concern to wind patterns and deployment. HOWEVER - you can get around these problems by setting one off in a closed, highly populated area. an airport, a theatre, any of these places. so that's why heathrow is surrounded by military personell.
though last time i went through heathrow was three years ago, and even then it was covered in guys with machine guns. has that always been the case?
