MRI Brain Scan According to a report by the Washington, DC based national Academies, Terrorists will opt to use a broader spectrum of potential bio terror agents. According to the report, we need to prepare for emerging technologies for biotechnology and the life sciences could be hijacked to take control of genes, immune systems and even brains.

The report recommends that in order to prepare for the ever changing threat spectrum, technologies with dual-use potential, need to be addressed, (weapons that can either be used to help or harm humanity) need to be continually reassessed to take in account of rapid advances in biotechnology.

The report concluded by stating that staying ahead in technology is the only way to beat an attack.
