In referencing the interview, Coughlin stated: "We are attempting to accelerate the development of advanced technologies into products that will become powerful weapons against terrorism. What was once unthinkable now seems inevitable and thorough preparation is our only defense.

We at Centrex feel that biodefense is everyone's responsibility and plan to produce an effective tool for the antiterrorism arsenal."
