Looks like they’ve upgraded their weaponry from almanacs:
The FBI is warning that terrorists could potentially use pens filled with cartridges of poison as weapons, according to an FBI bulletin obtained by Fox News.
A pen gun is a small-caliber, single shot weapon that resembles a fountain pen.
In its weekly bulletin to law enforcement agencies throughout the country, the FBI said that bullet cavities of pen guns could be filled with poisonous chemicals or biological toxins, including cyanide, mercury, arsenic and ricin.
But don’t go into hiding in the bunker just yet:
“The FBI possesses no information indicating that chemical pen guns are currently being used or will be used in terrorist operations in the United States; however, law enforcement agencies should remain alert to the potential use of such devices,” the FBI said in the notice.
By the way, are pen guns weapons of mass destruction? Better check the PATRIOT Act.
