Re: [RC] [RC] Illinois Permit numbers - rides2far@xxxxxxxx



Anything that can carry a disease 
that could infect our food supply or humans will have to be identifiable as 
to it's point of origin and wherever all it has been.

So...you think in this age of scanners, personal computers, etc. etc. that a 
real terrorist couldn't fake off an ag inspector? Reminds me of a book I read 
about a former Navy Seal whose job was to test security at Nuclear Plants, etc. 
He never had any trouble getting in and the people in charge of security would 
whine that they weren't warned there would be a drill, or that he had had the 
gall to cut their fence or something and not come through the check points. If 
he faked ID they didn't think that was "fair" either. :-P

And one more thing. If they're worried about "food supply" how come the horses 
headed for slaughter didn't need one? Guess we don't worry about the French 
food supply. :-/

I'm all for controlling the spread of disease, but I've never seen a situation 
where a health certificate was anything more than an irritation for the owner 
of a healthy horse. Maybe I just haven't been in the right place. Now at the 
Pan Ams & North American Championships they had people walking around the barn 
taking horse's temperatures every few hours. That I can see actually 
helping...30 days? 6 months? They'd do better to give certificates of 
dependability to owners who can be trusted.
