Yes it could happen. Here is a link to a Rand Corp study describing one scenario.

The bio threat is under consideration and study. One of the dirtiest would be a terrorist group intentionally becoming infected with small pox and then walking around crowded airports to spread the disease over multiple cities.

the rand corp does fine work and im sure they are on top of it..the smuggling of weapons does not seem to be the most liklely senario..as i have some back ground in n.b w.. that would be the most potental for human loss ,but again the athoritys are well versed in what to do and are pro actionary when it comes to this stuff..

Sham,
Initially I blew this thread off as it seemed too horrible to contemplate.
Then I went back and reread it. When you said this, you nailed it.

"Is there ever a line that can be crossed by the terrorist that would make it acceptable to kill innocents in order to stop the bad guys."

Your question is quite profound.
I'll just say that it's a matter of "perception". Which side of the fence are you standing on?
From the US position, appropriate actions have been evidenced.
From the Iraqi position, they might see exactly the same and also justify their response.
It's far too easy to see others as "bad guys".
Suffer the innocents.

btw...I agree with you that it will be biological...but not as you have conjectured.
