  Fears that weapons from the Soviet Union have been sold or stolen appear to be unfounded, Jason Pate, a terrorism expert at California's Monterey Institute of International Studies, tells the San Francisco Chronicle.Even if a Soviet nuclear weapon were obtained, he says, terrorists would need the arming codes, which are highly secret and not kept with the bomb.

  In more than two-dozen countries , public and private culture collection sites or germ banks store and distribute various anthrax strains to scientists , researchers and other organizations.
  
  The sites , in countries as diverse as Brazil , Iran and the United Kingdom , sell , trade or give away the anthrax strains to other entities based upon their particular national laws.

  Pate of the Center for Nonproliferation Studies says some scholars are pressing for an international agreement to criminalize the possession of potentially deadly biological agents by people not authorized to have them , as the new U.S. anti-terrorism act does.
  
  The agreement could be appended to the Biological Weapons Convention , for which signators are considering possible amendments and will be meeting to discuss them in November.
  
  But he adds , the problems with the convention is that the states that you are most concerned about are outside the treaty.You're going to expect Iraq to implement legislation.Even if they do it's a joke..

  "Trends in terrorism over the past 15 years indicate that loosely linked transnational networks motivated primarily by religious ideologies seeking mass casualties are replacing more ‘traditional' terrorists who are motivated primarily by politics," says Jason Pate, a senior research associate at the Monterey Institute of International Studies."These ominous trends suggest the potential for mass-casualty attacks, and because biological agents could be used in this fashion, the potential for mass-casualty bioterrorism may be at hand."

  I hope there will be some deterrent effect , said Jason Pate , a chemical and biological weapons researcher at California's Center for Nonproliferation Studies , a research institute devoted to curbing weapons of mass destruction.Unfortunately , we're very vulnerable to hoaxes and false alarms.And we have to respond to every one.The cost of making an error is too high politically and in terms of public health and confidence..
  
  The costs of providing beefed-up vigilance and security are becoming a new sort of emergency.
