Yes. These specific worms (Caenorhabditis Elegans) are incredibly important in biological research - apparently they're the source of countless research projects.
I see. So these guys are just earnest researchers getting more raw material for a cure for cancer or something, is that it? And the don’t have any - I don’t know, legal channels to go through?
But it's not bioterrorism - and you can bet your bippy that if there was even the merest hint of a whisper of a suggestion that these guys were importing these things for bioterrorism, and not just willfully breaking the rules so they could do their research, then they would have been charged with a terrorism count.
Uh, huh. Tell me. If the Feds bust someone for illegally importing Propionyl Chloride (a fentanyl precursor that has legit uses in chemical processing) is it more likely or less likely that the suspect is:
A) Making dye coloring, or
B) Cooking up a bunch of fentanyl
Which do you think?
