Sarin is a persistent agent, a tiny quantity on the skin pretty well dooms you unless you have a an atropine injector on hand. You don't need to breath it in to die, you need a vapor droplet on your skin.

On top of that its persistent over weeks. that means that every surface that it touches remains deadly, undersides of boards and fences, hedges etc.

If this is deployed and there's any wind, thousands could die.
Where the heck is Syria getting the sarin from? Memory thought (and Wikipedia confirmed) that it's a quickly degrading chemical, so it had to have made a batch recently. Do they have some reworked chemical facilities that I'm not aware of or are they getting it through import? And if so, through whom?
