"I, for the life of me, cannot understand why the terrorists have not attacked our food supply because it is so easy to." So said Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson in December 3, 2004 while announcing his resignation. Let's analyze Thompson's statement more carefully in order to find out what he meant and why he would say such a thing. Carefully read the attached short article entitled, Biological Attack on Agriculture: Low Tech, High Impact Bioterrorism. In your own words, critique this article in two sharply written paragraphs. Is Thompson correct? Well, is he? What has changed since this paper was published, if anything?
