I think the timescale is too long for it to be an effective tool for terrorists
Terrorism is first and foremost a propaganda strategy to destabilise the political system in the target country and recruit new members to the organisations cause
Since prions take decades to progress, a terrorist attack using such a weapon, would probably not create the shock and outrage, that makes headlines
It's okay. Lack of sarcasm tells in textual format leads to Poe's Law. ;) I wish English had inline accessory indicators to tack on tone for context instead of ambiguous wording, especially for critical conversations (that probably should be had by phone or in-person). Perhaps emoji serve this purpose? Why not some sort of diacritics though?
Wouldn't this be more for the lunatic who either hopes to take humanity down in the long run, or just does not give an f?
More of a 12 Monkeys scenario?
Regardless, happy Monday, indeed...
