Could terrorists poison Michigans water supply?
The “pill in the water supply” is a myth about chemical terrorism that is not true. All metropolitan water supplies have safeguards in place. Every day, water goes through various purification processes and is tested often. If terrorists were to attempt to poison a reservoir, they would need to disperse tons of agent into the water – smaller amounts would be diluted – and the vessels required for such a feat would be difficult to miss. Many cities have implemented heightened security around their reservoirs in order to further monitor any questionable activities.
