What about chemical weapons? (Score 1)

Hi, The article states that this weapon only has to "weaken the missile's exterior" and the velocity/pressure will take care of finishing off the missile. This sounds like the missile will break up once the outer shell has been weakened. This may not be a big problem with explosive warheads but what about chemical or nuclear? I don't really see how spraying anthrax or plutonium across the countryside is really an acceptable solution.
