Goldfish will protect world leaders' water from terror attacks

A tank of goldfish has been installed by security experts at today's G20 summit in South Korea to help guard against toxic terror attacks on delegates.
Six fish will be kept in an underground aquarium and will be used to test the purity of drinking and drainage water at the host complex in Seoul. Any sign of illness will spark a full-scale terrorist alert.

Goldfish are more valuable than some of the humans I 've seen.
The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government.
-Thomas Jefferson
That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants.” – Jeff Cooper'

More here: S. Korea Uses Goldfish to Test G20 Water; PETA Protests - World Watch - CBS NewsThe bizarre security measure is not sitting well with animal activists, namely the rights group PETA, which is known for its provocative protests and campaigns like trying to re-brand fish as "sea kittens."
"Protecting world leaders is very serious, but so is protecting animals who feel pain just as people do," said PETA's executive vice president, Tracy Reiman.
"There are a variety of modern scientific methods that would better protect world leaders and keep fish from enduring agonizing deaths from contaminated water," she wrote in a letter to South Korean authorities.

I agree with the PETA lunatic. There are better methods. She and some other high profile members should fly to South Korea and trade spots with the goldfish.
