    I think in a contemporary sense the concern is more about non state actors using them. Imagine a bio weapon being released on in a subway station, but no one knows what it is or how to treat it.

      This, all weapons today plant a massive target on their user. Unless you use a disease and just spread it naturally, there ain’t currently a great way to do lots of stealthy damage.

      Take an AI or 2 and make the deadliest disease you can without any usual crispr red flags and you could easily hide among the masses
