Others have beaten me to it, but my immediate thought was to string off a list of possibilities including faked manifests, dummy corporations, suborned and bribed inspectors, employees, states, etc. :-) Smaller quantities of bad stuff would presumably need less elaborate preparations. It does seem to me, though, that once you talk about using a something like a nerve agent in small enough quantities, one might as well just get creative at the local sporting goods store. Multiple Washington-sniper type attacks all across the country using different makes and models of cars and weapons would be just as effective as multiple sarin gas attacks and probably a hell of a lot cheaper, with better odds of repeatability.
