>It would be fairly easy to add poison to a water supply or the air intake of a large building and kill a large number of people.

I used to think this until someone walked me through the logistics of both and made me realize that you would need an agency-alerting level of poison for the water supply and some way to avoid people just shutting off the A/C and sticking their heads out of windows (also a huge amount of gas). Also the news can't exist to alert anyone immediately.

> agency-alerting level of poison

Doesn't this fall under: "We try to make known poisons hard to make, we try to track people who could make them, and we try to make it hard to deliver poison"?

And the rest of it being you should use something odorless / tasteless.
