City upgrading stockpile of nerve agent antidote :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State
Topic: Current Events 4:51 pm EST, Nov 29, 2007

The city has issued a "request for qualifications" from companies interested in supplying "duodote auto injection nerve agent antidotes" needed to increase the "chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive preparedness" for Chicago's first responders. The kits would be used if "nerve agent or other weapons of mass destruction" were used in an attack on the city, the bid documents state.

Kevin Smith, of the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications, refused to say how many antidotes the city was seeking to buy with federal funds. He would only say they'll be an improvement over the current version.

This is just me speculating, but "what does Chicago know that we don't" comes to mind...

It's either they are the "hotbed" of terrorist targets, or some other driver is causing Chicago to run out and spend their taxpayer dollars on Nerve Agent Antidote. (which, by the way, is an oxymoron. Nerve Agent effects are permanent.)
