The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

conspiracy to smuggle biological materials

I learned early to be suspicious of any announcements coming out of Trump’s Justice Department/FBI.

“Biological materuals”? What are we talking about here.

Another grad student from Eastern Europe was arrested several months ago on the same charge. It turned out that the “biological material” she was smuggling was a necessary element of legitimate research being done here, and she simply didn’t realize that she needed to declare it.

So is this “biological material” a legitimate component of legitimate research? Or is it something akin to a precursor ingredient of some sort of bio-weapon?

I don’t know, but given the track record of Pam &Kash, I’m not going to get excited about it till. i know more.
