State laws can shut down a store, even if the products there are from out of state.
State laws can say a type of car can't be operated on roads in the state.
State laws can prevent a type of car from being registered.

Sure the States can do all of that, and the Dept of Transportation can send a couple hundred million in highway funds elsewhere.

Seriously If you agree to report them, and the treaty doesn't specify a time period then it's for as far as your able; there are farmers in France that would be very happy if somebody would come in and clear all of that old chemical shit and unexploded munitions from their fields and yes Mustard from WW I still causes burn even today. Quite a bit of chemical weapons got dumped into the Baltic Sea after Germany surrendered and it's keeps turning up also.

Typical Liberal-progressive think, there was chemical weapons in Iraq period. Saddam signed a cease-fire saying he would report all WMD and to allow UN weapons inspectors to inspect for unreported WMD. He failed to satisfy the treaty and the war resumed. Nothing about old vs new WMD was needed.

The protocol to comply with Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations at 29 CFR 1910.1030, which includes Use of engineering and work practice controls and appropriate personal protective equipment
(gloves, face and eye protection, gowns); obviously the engineering controls were inadequate for the hazard presented and personal protective equipment was inappropriate.

I found a more reputable source ebola is listed with ID10 1-100, ID50 10-1000, ID90 50-1000 which means 1-100 virus is enough to infect 10% of the population and 50-1000 will infect 90% of the population; (on page 4) It's scary stuff. Figure a hospital-grade "kills" 99.999% (5-log) after 10 minutes contact time, a sneeze might disperse a million virus that leaves 10 virus which is enough to infect half the people who contact them, and seriously if no one suspects Ebola or Marburg, your less likely to see 10 minute contact time than you're to see 30 second hand washing.

On the plus side if you take off the barrier suit properly your going to be ok with or without a disinfectant spray down; it's just when the personel were trained, they took the training as a hypothetical situation, not a "your life depends on this" situation. This is universal, in the Army I notice the attention to detail was several orders of magnitude higher before your were exposed to Sarin than before your were exposed to teargas.

1:10 bleach solution is one of my favorites, but what it lacks is the guarentee, in this case manufacturer's product liability insurance. It doesn't disolve plastic, but repeated and prolonged contact does oxidative damage and embrittlement. It also does a number on latex paint but not immeadiatly and it will corrode metal even stainlees steel and colbalt-chrome alloy.
