The point of building an ABM system isn't to protect us against current threats -- but potential threats. If a true ICBM system fell into the hands of a hostile government (however that might happen), would you really want to wait 10-20 years to develop a reliable defense? The time to do it is now.

If they were serious about protecting us, they'd be upgrading the facilities at the CDC, and taking pro-active steps to ensure the safety of the scientist who can assist in the creation of antidotes and vaccines.
