Executive Order 13112 and 18 USC Sec 42 both imply possibility of criminal

OP, it is at least a theoretical possibility.

Whether you take it seriously or not - and apparently you don't - the USDA
and the Texas Dept of Agriculture do.

I lived on Long Island till I moved to Texas when I was 37 years old.
I lived through one of, if not THE worst infestations of gypsy moth
infestations the United States had seen. You could not walk one inch
without hitting the silks hanging on everything.

Spray trucks came out for about three years in a row in spring to
spray the Bt up into the trees and now the gypsy moth, aka inch worm
before it pupates are very manageable. I will take a look at this EO
if I can find it.

I would never wish for any ecological thing to go wrong for any reason
or for any life form.
