Justice Department's Bio-terror Mistake

destinyland writes "University professor and artist Steve Kurtz publicizes the history of chemical weapons with performance art pieces. The day his wife died of a heart attack, 911 responders mistook his scientific equipment for bioterrorism supplies. After he was detained for 22 hours, Homeland Security cordoned off his block, and a search was performed on his house in hazmat suits, they found nothing. Now they're prosecuting him for "mail fraud" for the way he obtained $256 of harmless bacteria."

So you are okay with being police storming down your home and shooting you down, because your kid was playing with a toy gun?

Are you volunteering yourself to be arrested for fungus growing on that stale bread in your fridge? It is all like....that "bacteria" stuff, you know?

Idiot!

I think you are correct up until you reference the girl in the airport. In all honesty she invited lethal force. She was lucky they didnt use it.

She is stupid and deserves to be punished severely.
