Subject: Re: That balloon
How could the general possibly know the payload was not a simple compressed canister of the latest virus cooked up in the Wuhan Lab waiting on a radio command or arrival at a preset GPS position to release the aerosol as it drifted along.

I didn't go to Air Balloon Defense School like the entire MAGA wing did, but it seems to be that if the balloon was carrying a bioweapon, shooting it down and risk releasing the weapon would be the dumbest fucking thing you could possibly do.
