I believe that the registration is to provide the FDA with a list of potential targets for sabatoge(sp) of the food supplies. That way the FDA can petition for more money from the federal government to provide more inspectors and faster computers
I was filing an LLC registration and big red letters told me if the LLC was involved with food/beverage processing, manufacturing or distribution (it isn't) it must register with the FDA's bioterrorism department. Wow. I wonder how big that department is and if the budget is listed as a defense cost.

Maybe I'm naive, but why would any self-respecting terrorist be stupid enough to register with a federal bureaucracy having a name like that? Now I better understand why our government is growing at record rates with reduced public services.

Admittedly, the concept of the Straussian text is one susceptible to intellectual mischief in the form of wild claims about the esoteric meaning of texts, not to mention rather off-putting for anyone who doesn’t like know-it-all elites.
Orthodox Judaism, not to mention other religions: there is a small number of men who know the detailed truth; the masses are told what they need to know and no more
That's the way I read it. Which will provide an even larger and more expensive bureacracy performing tasks of questionable value without being encumbered with formal requests for expansion. All under the guise of defense, but evading accountabilty under the defense act.Originally Posted by lord tammerlain
