Govt Tests on Civilians LEGAL!

U.S. Code 50 (Chapter 32, Section 1520(b)1)) states that the Department of Defence MAY "conduct any test or experiment involving the use of any chemical or biological agent on civilian populations" only if the DoD notifies "local civilian officials" 30 days before testing chemical or biological agents on U.S. civilians.

So you have the right to have some "civilian officials" notified before you're used in bio-war experiments. So we all have the legal right to be a Guinea pig without knowing, so long as some officials know.

Read this law at the Cornell University library: http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/50/1520.html

This law was added to the U.S. Code in 1996. Why would federal law define a right for the DoD to "conduct any test or experiment involving the use of any chemical or biological agent on civilian populations" (granted a few officials know) if no such tests and experiments were planned? It stands to reason that they are planned! Is this connected to reports of sickening USAF-jet-spray?
