"Fortunately, the intelligent people needed to design these genetically-engineered, cocaine-eating mutant bugs already understand this.

Which is why nobody does it. We are FAR from sufficient knowledge of molecular bioengineering to design such a beast with sufficient safeguards.

Unfortunately, terrorists and deep green fanatic don't much care if it happens. For terrorists, they believe that "Allah will protect his own", and for the deep green fanatics, human virulence is a feature, not a bug.

DDT would take care of it.

This is how the deep state makes its money. A rogue state produces the coke and deep state banks line up to handle the transactions.

Then get CIA and DEA involved, add in arms sales and sex trafficking and you’ve got enough money to bribe congress, the courts, department heads, state government many times over. Mena, AR and DEA protecting drug cartels in decades long stings is old news.

"DDT would take care of it."

I think we mean different things by "bug". I am (and assumed that exPBRrat was) referring to a biowarfare agent like a plant disease, while you apparently mean an insect. I am not aware of successful bioengineering of insects for such a purpose.
