    Iran isn’t stupid enough to try and use fent as a bio-weapon. I don’t think the writer even knows what the fuck it is. I smell that shit every other day at work. It’s nasty and makes my respiratory system want to expel everything inside, but outside of a small enclosed area like a bathroom, it’s not gonna do anything.

      i mean you can pump a shitton through a building’s ventilation system but i sure hope if Iran has cooked up a version of that, it works better. “bio-weapon” would be a perfectly orwellian description though, right? developing this thing to try to kill less people in hostage situations–>weapons of mass destruction

      e: also you’re allowed to use chemical weapons just not against a uniformed legal combatant under the geneva conventions, @ tear gas

      They don’t have to, cops od on fent if they suspect they see white powder (or if they want some time off without using their pto)
