A lab technician apparently committed suicide using cyanide.
Cyanide is not the best choice for suicide as even though it is fast, you feel as if you are asphyxiating.
The usual suspects have ascended their soap boxes and started trying to fan public fears of lab technicians gathering large quantities of toxic substances with mayhem in mind.
They obviously wasted no time considering what inventory controls are already in place and how hard research can become if more stringent controls are added.
The number of people that are able to obtain chemicals that are dangerous in and of themselves or that can be made dangerous with only a little treatment is enormous.
We can't clamp down too hard on access without putting an already fragile economy in the dumper.
