ALS or BLS: Antidotes?

We carry 8, 5 mg vials on top of the 6, 1mg vials for patients for organophosphate.
 
Are the organophosphate antidotes being stocked because of HAZMAT and CHEMTREC situations, or potential civil terrorism scenarios? Or both? (Did they pop up after 11SEP'01?)

NARCAN for Imodium! Interesting. Bet if you chug it Imodium will do CNS; I remember for a while it was a popular drug of abuse in some non-hardcore circles here. Thanks!

EDIT: Imodium OD affects CNS; ditto if its physiological clearance is impaired by paralytic ileum, hepatic dysfunction, urinary retention. And peds are seemingly more susceptible. ( http://www.rxlist.com/imodium-drug/overdosage-contraindications.htm )
