FDA fears terrorists could strike via prescriptions
FDA Commissioner Lester Crawford warns terrorists could tamper with prescription drugs to cause harm, citing past drug tampering incidents and the growing importation of Canadian medicines. He notes safety concerns include improper refrigeration, wrong potency, and counterfeits, while Homeland Security says no specific threats exist. The agency faces Vermont's lawsuit over imports and has issued warnings but taken limited action.
