"Cues from chatter" gathered around the world are raising concerns that terrorists might try to attack the domestic food and drug supply, particularly illegally imported prescription drugs, acting Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Lester M. Crawford says.

Canadians sue US for closing our borders to live Canadian beef

Terrorists won't target any legally purchased prescription drugs...

Can't resist this --- it's almost as if they are in partnership with the pharmaceutical companies (mocking a look of shock)

Saw a pharmaceutical rep taking my own physician a basket of "samples" only yesterday.
