Abstract: During the summer of 2001, I sat on a restaurant patio in Chicago talking with my family about the possibility of a bioterrorist attack in the United States. Our conversation was stimulated by The Hot Zone, the story of an ebola outbreak in a laboratory just outside Washington, DC.1 The disaster scenarios we envisioned then seemed more like science fiction than plausible occurrences. As the events of subsequent months unfolded, however, conversations of this sort became much more grave and less hypothetical.
