Well, if they had competent bad-guys, it probably would be. Otherwise you kind of have an obvious weakness there...

OTOH, this isn't T-america... so I wouldn't lay odds on the bad-guys being competent. OTOH, if this was T-America, even the bad guys wouldn't release gene-engineered super-bugs into the rain forest.

"Geeze, whatta are you, crazy? Let those nasty critters loose here?! I mean, we're bad guys, yeah.. but we're not irresponsible!"
