I don't see how we can tolerate this but I don't know what we can do about it. My concern is what's getting through that we don't know about. I sure hope I'm wrong but I believe we're headed for a serious shitstorm with China at some point.

How does this equate with the constant hacking from foreign nationals, including Russians? They are all acts of war IMO.

I'm sure we're constantly hacking as well. I'm not convinced that we're trying to poison/ruin other countries food supplies but I might be wrong.

I see no evidence that this was an "act of war" or some kind of terrorist plot. To the contrary, looks like you may have gotten spoofed.

"We're not talking about something that just got imported from China," Allen said. "People should not be freaking out."

Breakouts of Fusarium graminearum infections already naturally occur in dozens of U.S. states -- basically any state that produces wheat and barley -- and has been established in the U.S. for at least 125 years,

How would you like to be the TSA guy that opened the bags and sniffed the contents thinking it was weed?

I don't know. Maybe it's part of a conspiracy to make the world even more flatter?

Different strains than what the US AG dept and others have already been treating. It should be considered terroristic simply due to the fact they smuggled it in and the issue with it most likely not being the first time or the only thing they’ve tried. Sleight of hand type deal by the chi coms, look here while not looking over here. The reason they say don’t panic is they don’t want widespread panic but make no doubt it should be very concerning. Officials are trying to protect markets, and other similar overreactions. Heck and American in SC tried to poison chicken plants recently and they won’t even divulge which ones and the company names.

Sorry I just don't buy that they're risking long prison sentences for smuggling something into the US that is readily available here. That makes zero sense.

They shoulda just went with, "Dave's not here." LOL

So looks like another Chinese person was arrested for smuggling in some biological material. This makes 3 in a couple of days.

If you believe this was an innocent mistake I don't know what to tell you. Research the amount of damage something like this can cause to crops, livestock and people and you will realize this is something more.

I agree completely. This is nefarious.

IMHO we should not be allowing students from a country who does not actively and publicly oppose wars against our allies. Seems simple to me…
