Much cheaper...much easier to conceal...potentially much more lethal.

As long as the terrorists stick to just blowing things up, we can survive

But a single terrorist, already infected with, say, a long-incubation

passengers disembark and disperse throughout the world before the first
symptoms appear...

I only hope our bio research is well-funded and staffed.
