And just look at how quickly they can respond to a non-existent threat:
Illinois’ State Weapons of Mass Destruction Teams can respond to a terrorist incident anywhere in the state within 60 to 90 minutes of notification.Which explains why we'd want to keep Illinois residents helpless for that amount of time should a real incident ever unfold.

so uh...say that's ricin or 'thrax in a subway? The notification comes hours, days, months later?
Not too effective really.
Oh, and if it's a nuke, I have a feeling that the damage takes a lot less time to be noticed, but the folks who would be responding aren't these goons.
The standard joke here in Texas is - The seriousness of a chemical spill or a terrorist attack can be determined by the number of dead highway patrolmen at the scene.
In this instance, one could also add in the number of dead citizens.
