they say they found them, that's assuming they were missing at all. i'm sure someone said hey lets move these and see how long it takes for someone to miss them.

How can Bubonic plague not be a danger to people?A report in the UK stated that these vials could only have killed one person each and could not have been used as a WMD.Is it possible this strain of Bubonic Plague is not infectious.

It can,at the very least,be described as an irony that the two cases in which laboratory enhanced biological weapons,that we know of,which could or have got into the wrong hands(Anthrax and now Bubonic Plague)have not originated from a crumbling Russian Federation or an evil despotic Middle Eastern dictator but from the USA.

The scientist who said they were missing now reports he destroyed them. He's to appear in court today to answer a few questions.

Pointed questions.

By a judge who isn't amused at having Lubbock turned into a scare warehouse.

And then he has to go explain himself to the head of the Medical School.

If he's lucky, he'll be out of a job, discredited, and barred from further practice. If he's unlucky, he'll be all that plus fined and jailed.

I find it odd, that a disease that with no help from human tampering, killed in a few decades if even that long, 1/4 of Europes entire population, can be considered, harmless....

But if you really want some bubonic plague you only need to get armadillos from New Mexico and Arizona, they are riddled with them.
