If non-reputable agencies wanted to do illegal research, there is literally nothing that would stop them. Look at NSA spying, MKUltra, and the failed nerve gas test that killed hundreds of sheep.
The US still has the largest arsenal of nerve gas in the world, much of it which is still in the queue to be destroyed, much of it still leaking.
- AnkhMorporkian 9y agoI haven't heard anything about continued leaking. Any sources on that? Googling turns up nothing besides the sheep incident.
- ethbro 9y agoNot sure I want to Google "where is US military nerve gas stockpiled?"

- AnkhMorporkian 9y agoI did google it, there was nothing of import, and that's why I asked the question.
- Gracana 9y agoThere was a good NBC dateline documentary about it years ago. The biggest stockpiles were being dismantled slowly, but they were indeed leaking, and it was a gargantuan project to neutralize the weapons and containers full of VX. I'm not sure where we're at now. I'll look it up later when I'm home.
