Use your brain dixie:
If al qaeda wanted to do a chemical attack on america, it'd be easier and more effective for them to build a nitrate fertilezer bomb out of legal materials, than to go get a 20-year old degraded chemical shell from iraq.
Several things here... To build a nitrate fertilizer bomb, they would have to buy the stuff, like Tim McVeigh did, and that would leave a trail. They would also have to hire a bomb maker, to make the bomb, as opposed to having a device already made and filled with degraded Sarin. Secondly, a nitrate fertilizer bomb, while it would kill people and cause alarm, would not require community evacuations or the CDC having to monitor the air for remaining remnants of Sarin nerve agent, thus the "terror" created, would be less.
