Please also avoid duplicates.

Oh shit, this means some kind of plague is coming, doesn't it? They only start blaming others when something is about to hit the fan.

I'm pretty sure they just targeted this guy (who was most likely bringing in research material, given he is a research scientist) as an easy way to make headline news and prove they're "busy keeping America safe," while actual threats slip through unnoticed.

Kinda like the person busted by ice earlier this year for slipping in research materials.
