- I remember hearing how the DEA would set up fake chemical distributors,
- advertising controlled reagents typically used in the production of illegal
- drugs, in certain magazines. They just had to sit back and wait for the
- orders to come in, and add names to their list of potential drug
- manufacturers.

- Don't see any parallels here, do you? Perhaps I'm being paranoid, and I'm
- not completely sure distribution of viruses like this is illegal, but one
- could assume the Secret Service would like to have the names of people who
- might be interested in an offer like this.
