I mean, it's not entirely baseless. Russian police did use aerosolized fentanyl to stop a terrorist hostage situation by getting everyone to basically get knocked out and then grab and narcan the hostages. Is drugs a useful weapon in any other scenario? Not at all. Is this just paranoia? Obviously.

this sounds like the premise to a funny film of a mass of people getting high & weird, not much else. surely its much cheaper to burn/explode a room full of people than aerosolizing a drug and running through an AC or something

that was a horrible bit of "policing" but it makes way more sense than terrorists executing their attack with fent i mean. both killing and hostage taking are much simpler without involving aersolized drugs

Oh yeah, I'm just saying that it is an actual thing that can be done, and was done, by a state that amerikkka hates.
