Chinese couple charged with smuggling a biological pathogen into the U.S.
Chinese couple charged with smuggling a biological pathogen into the U.S.
Yunqing Jian, a researcher at the University of Michigan, and her boyfriend, Zunyong Liu, studied the pathogen as university students in China.
The pathogen is a fungus that causes blight on wheat and barley crops. No idea what the plan was, but bringing that to the Midwest could have been bad if released.
It was a post-doc student who wanted to continue his research at UMich on the fungus to develop ways to prevent blight. His peer-reviewed published research on the topic is available through google scholar: Google Scholar Link. He was wrong to try and sneak it in, but this looks like a dedicated scientific researcher making a bad decision - not an attempted terrorist attack.
That could be apocalyptic for our food supply

Honestly? Chicken Little didn't scream as loudly as you have over this.
Isn’t this how Interstellar started?

On a more serious note, this seems more like a case of poor judgment than attempted errorism.
