5 charged with smuggling Escherichia coli (E. coli) into the U.S. and making false statements about it.

A curious affair. E coli is is the white lab rat of microbial research and is readily and unsuspiciously available from bio supply houses. At first glance, this is rather like smuggling common lab supplies such as test tubes and latex gloves.

E coli is commonly found in the human lower intestine. Considered a facultative pathogen, it normally behaves itself, but can cause problems like urinary tract infections if it gets in the wrong place. Some strains produce toxins which can cause food poisoning.

Is there something peculiar about this particular strain of E. coli that makes it worth smuggling?

How about a useful item to test the system that won't make much in the headlines and will carry a lighter sentence for the courier?

8 Chinese are always bringing fresh meats and fruits into other countries. There was a HUGE sign in Taipei warning them against it. When my brother tried to turn in his pack of beef jerky at in the amnesty box, they waved him through. "These aren't the droids we're looking for"
