Our collective paranoia knows no bounds, it would seem.
"We all know about this day and age, when you can go to chemical-processing plants and somebody with another intent can take that equipment and create something that is not intended to be there.

"The United States is part of the Chemical Weapons Convention. That includes monitoring and visiting commercial facilities where they would be able to make chemical weapons."

Mr Reynier added: "We produce 16,000 cases a year, a weapon of mass drunkenness."
:D

What a crock. Guess we'd better keep a close eye on Jack Daniel's now just to make sure they don't try to switch over to making WMDs, as opposed to a distillery that's not even based in fvcking America.

Why would a spy voluntarily reveal themselves and what they do? Doesn't make sense...

I could be just a nosey peeping tom that claims to be a spy...unless the author of the article actually knows the true identity of the poser/email respondent.

If you really think thats bad, you'd be surprised what kind of information actual spies grab.

I am willing to bet the US and other countries have spied on things much worse than this (in the sense of the
ridiculous), to make sure its nothing more than it says it is. Just 99.9% of the time you never every find out about it.
