Official Title: A bill to reduce the risk to the food supply from intentional contamination, and for other purposes.
Status: Introduced (By Sen. Richard Durbin [D-IL])
This bill is in the first step in the legislative process. Introduced Senate bills go first to Senate committees that consider whether the bill should be presented to the Senate as a whole. The majority of bills never make it out of committee.
Introduced: Jul 28, 2005 Last Action: Jul 28, 2005: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
FOOD SECURITY.
(1) developing a security plan that addresses the specific and vulnerabilities of the establishment (your farm)
(2) developing an emergency response plan for the establishment (Farm)
(3) securing establishment boundaries (Gate it Danno, don't let anyone on your property including those predators, human and animal)
(4) providing guards, alarms, and outside lighting, as necessary (sounds like a concentration camp to me)
(5) performing background checks before hiring new personnel (ok all! every time you hire people or acquire an animal, it's a background check!)
(6) limiting access to the establishment; (Now we have to post a sign outside warning people premise is hazardous-if passed)
(7) accounting for missing stock (Now how many chicks did I have?)
(8) implementing mail-handling procedures; and
(9) such other security procedures (A little vague I would say) as the Secretary determines to be necessary to prevent unintentional or = intentional contamination of meat and meat food products.

Disbanding the FDA and the FTC would be a good first step, but more is required. The FDA has openly allowed TV advertising for dangerous and ineffective drugs to help the bottom line for pharmaceutical poison manufacturers, thus putting the lives of viewers at risk for profit.
