Germ Genie: The Threat of Biological Warfare

Biological weapons offer a cheap alternative to nuclear weapons for smaller states and terrorist groups—a frightening but unavoidable reality. This program traces the history of biological warfare from the Middle Ages, then looks at the latest biological weapons research under way in laboratories in the U.S. and U.K. While military experts offer defensive strategies, skeptical scientists discuss whether defense against germ warfare is possible. A reconstruction of anthrax fermentation demonstrates the frightening ease with which the bacteria can be produced. (44 minutes)
