He argues that bioterrorism is a very real threat to humankind due to the 21st century's confluence of globalization, terrorism and biotechnology. Each of these three components of bioterrorism is experiencing unprecedented -- really exponential ? growth and when examined collectively, these factors present a potentially serious challenge to both U.S. national security as well as to America's scientific, organizational and cultural systems.
