12-30-95. To update the list of terrorist threats, the Wash
Post reports on the purchase in May of bubonic plague germs
by "white supremacist" Larry Wayne Harris, his bust by the
FBI and germ teams, prosecutors amazement that possession
of such deadly micro-organisms is not illegal, and the
consequent plea bargain of wire fraud with probation.
The article explains that possession of "terrorist" mites
is not prohibited due to a legal loophole which allows
scientific trade in wee supremacists. There are calls for
outlawing the meat-eaters by closing the gap in the
anti-terrorism bill before Congress. But scientists say
how dare you spit in our nanodeath soup.
It notes that offshore spread is Commerce regulated.
BTW, why this story now about summer events? For the
anti-terrorist bill, TLA-plague growth, any germ any?
