Fox News broke for a bulletin a few minutes ago. The announcer said that new information had just been received from the government, saying that the current emergency is very serious. They (the gov't) said that we have not seen such a serious threat since the Cuban missile crisis. They said that the most critical period would be within the next 72 hours.

On the basis of this realistic image, the entire world needs to be saved from the deep abyss it might be pushed into by the US, and the likes of the US, whether they are states, individuals, or organizations. In fact, now that we know the limits of how American rulers conduct themselves in crisis, the US itself needs to be saved by the world while it is saving itself. Otherwise, the world will be pulled down by the weight of the US while falling down to the bottom of a deep pit from which it will not be able to come out until that pit is filled with blood and tragedies, not to mention those who will suffocate because they cannot swim.

The bold portion seems to not fit the text previous to it. Being at a higher state of alert again, and this odd comment about suffocating because they cannot swim... are there any dams near heavily populated areas? Or some other means of mass flooding/drowning possible?

Anyway, they were discussing some kind of new poison that could be distributed in cans of tomatoes. They said something about it suffocating people when they open the can, and then said something about "it all works by the pressure" or something like that. They gave it a weird name I'd never heard before. I did a buncha searches on that name using a couple of different spellings, and couldn't find anything on it beyond someone on Usenet asking what it was.
The 'swim' part is weird, I still think water some how.
But, a can of tomatoes? Ok... to get it into something canned and likely to be opened. Do they have or are they going to take over a canning facility? Maybe beer? Psssst... nobody notices and just figures you had too much to drink. (j/k)
BUT, anyone who manages to spirit away such a bomb would presumably be able to partially dismantle it and hack into the code system at leisure... the bomb code is only meant to prevent the bomb being exploded while it remains in situ.
This is true, however they may need to coordinate a la 9/11. Hopefully this will be sniffed out....
It would require a bit of engineering to do this to a food can and not be obvious (bulging ends, innards which don't feel or sound like tomatoes when sealed can is shaken). Let alone planting these in supermarkets with nobody noticing. Sounds rather impractical as a direct attack, though I could see trying to use a shipment of "food cans" to transport something really nasty.
