Terrorists 'could lace British food with poison': Government's terrifying warning to supermarkets.

The government has warned supermarkets that terrorists could poison food supplies in Britain.

Security advisers have highlighted the vulnerability of the country's food chain and how quickly bacteria can spread.

Manufacturers and retailers have been told they could be at risk from groups looking to cause widespread casualties and disruption.

Threat: Supermarkets have been told to tighten security due to concerns that food and drink supplies may be targeted by terrorists.

Across the board, food and drinks producers, suppliers and supermarkets have been told to tighten security throughout their food production processes and target weaknesses in their supply chains.

In the past the biggest risk to food has been from criminals attempting extortion or people with a grudge.

However, Al Qaeda, dissident republicans in Northern Ireland and animal rights activists are being identified as potential risks.

My opinion:

This kind of news make me nervous. I get a little scary, really. I think a government should have fear this kind of news. That news terrorize people, they extend a wave of fear through out the country. And remember that fear is the hardest to fight!
