So why the heck are we lining up to get the masks?

Sarin gas is really bad news | The Times of Israel
"I’ll quote Dr. John Clements, professor of immunology and microbiology at Tulane University, in an interview with ABC news: “I believe individuals buying gas masks to protect themselves against an unspecified biological or chemical attack is pretty useless.”

Part of it is surely psychological, while if the threat is real then more would be needed. I guess there is also always the chance Assad lobs over some tear gas for good fun."
