Completely off-topic: Plastic Sheeting and Duct Tape?
This is completely off-topic but I feel as this is my "home-forum" so to speak so I was looking for everyone's thoughts.
This whole thing with a run on plastic sheeting and duct tape to terror-proof your house from the chemical and bio weapon boogie-man reminds me of something I saw that was around during the 50's. During the cold-war and specifically the cuban missle crisis the Civil Defense came up with the animated character, Bert the Turtle to remind us to duck and cover if "BAM", a nuclear weapon hits. I think it is understood today that crawling under your desk at school will not do too well of a job protecting you from an H-Bomb blast or the fallout to follow. That being said do you guys think this whole plastic and duct tape thing is just to give Americans something to do and not feel so helpless or would it work?
