Ok to play devils advocate. A group has access to bio weapons . They plan to cause mayhem with them. To test if it is going to work you go to a country that has a lot of tourism. You then release a low grade bug similar to the killer bug you have for your plan to see if it will spread how you wish. It spreads worldwide quite quickly. You see your plan may work and move onto phase 2. This is how I would do it if I was a terrorist with access to bio warfare.

because of tourism look at how far afield it has spread even if its not all that dangerous
