That's one of the touchiest issues: If terrorists did trigger a contagious outbreak, could federal and local officials contain it and also protect civil liberties? (((Larry Gostin))) , a lawyer and public health specialist at Georgetown University, says government officials could hurt America by overreacting in a panic. But he says it is possible to maintain tolerance, fairness and due process of the law during an epidemic.

(((Gostin))) has drafted a model law that all the states could pass to help them contain an epidemic and protect rights. For instance, if terrorists triggered a smallpox outbreak tomorrow, officials in many states wouldn't have the power to seize private buildings to ease crowding in hospitals. Under Gostin's proposed law, they could seize private property, but they would have to compensate the owners fairly.
