Select one of the following prompts to answer:
Prompt 1: Consider a young gang member mashing up a small quantity of castor beans to impress his delinquent friends. Armed with a dozen castor beans and a terrorist cookbook, he generates a crude extract of ricin. He places the extract in a vial and tells his friends that he intends to use it against a rival gang. Two days later, he uses the crude extract in an attempt to poison several gang members. Is this an act of terrorism? Is this the use of a WMD? In accordance with local and state laws, what other infractions might he be charged with?
Prompt 2: With respect to quarantine and isolation, when are they authorized? Who can authorize them? What procedures need to be followed? Can one make an argument for large scale quarantine? When might this be applicable?
Prompt 3: Discuss the roles of key federal agencies that come into play following a biological incident. How are the federal agencies determined? Who has control?
