E. coli is good for you - seriously :-)

No, I was referring to something that could (and may well) kill
thousands or more people in one go.


Perhaps I *am* better off not knowing! Just tell me if the charcoal filter
on our drinking water tap is going to work! I bet the answer is 'no'. But
if it's terrorist action we're thinking of, attacking our drinking water
with e.g. Anthrax is all too horribly possible and I have a strong feeling
that's been discussed in the press some time ago.
