Scary(if they put that in the water supply...).

I found the recipe for ricin after searching the internet for about two minutes.

[kidd]

Instructions on how to make the deadly poison ricin are freely available on the internet. Any terrorist with access to a computer can discover the formula and the production process in a matter of minutes.

They could make the killer agent on their kitchen table using everyday items such as glass jars with airtight lids and coffee filters. A would-be assassin would only have to leave the house to get the ingredients, which are easily available and inexpensive. The process is simple enough for someone with no experience of chemistry to follow, and the chemicals themselves are widely sold.

One website warns at the outset: "This stuff is extraordinarily poisonous." It then goes on to list the ingredients needed. It suggests obtaining the vital component, castor oil beans, from a garden supply centre.

The process for making the toxin takes only a matter of days. The bean pulp and chemicals are reduced to a meal and can then easily be reduced further to a lethal white powder.

One thousandth of a gram of it is enough to kill. The only problem facing a potential terorrist is not to touch or inhale any of the deadly substance.

Clearly, we need immediate legislation to outlaw castor oil beans. Presto, problem solved.

Notice CNN won't even call ricin a "chemical weapon," but just calls it a "poison?" These guys will stoop to *any* propaganda to discredit the Russians.

British authorities found traces of the toxin ricin, for which there is no antidote, in a raid on a London apartment last week

Coming to a neighborhood near you soon!!!

Can we call Chechen militants terrists now?

Can we admit they are Muslims extreemists now?

What does it take to disclose the connection?
