The effectiveness of using a biological weapon to inflict mass casualties is undetermined and it hasn’t been used by governments or dictators for a very good reason: because once released it is uncontrollable and there’s nothing stopping it from killing your own people. This is why biological weapons are referred to as The Poor Man’s Nuke. The commercial aviation transportation system connects the world to everything and the concept of weaponizing a biological agent such as the Ebola virus or some other engineered virus and then using the aviation system to spread it could be done without ever boarding an aircraft or even setting foot on foreign soil. An intentional exposure to Ebola is far from complicated and it would only take a single person infected with the Ebola virus to book a flight from an international airport, and a person infected with a biological weapon is invisible to security and detection technology.
Once through security this patient zero would have free run of an airport and could visit the gate area of every international air carrier traveling not only to the United States but to every country in Europe. The Ebola virus on dry surfaces can last several hours and perpetrators using nothing more than their own saliva and mucus could contaminate the armrests of hundreds of chairs and every vending machine at an airport, infecting passengers and thereby weaponizing hundreds of commercial aircraft without ever physically boarding a flight. The idea of containment is a nightmare and establishing a contact-tracing cycle for something of this magnitude would be nearly impossible due to the lengthy incubation period of the virus. In a single day, one person could infect tens of thousands of people and the situation would become a pandemic overnight.
Turning commercial aircraft into weapons of mass destruction remains a continuing threat and while the idea of using the aviation transportation system to introduce and spread a biological weapon may seem far-fetched, it is far less ambitious than sending 20 foreign operatives abroad to attend flight training and hijack planes. Lest we forget it was the failure of imagination that opened Pandora’s Box in the first place.
