Subject: GE contamination

All the recent news on GE contamination will make it almost
mandatory in the future to test regularly for contamination. I
presume that the same companies who created the transgenes also
created (and patented) the tests for them. This means that they will
be earning royalties from all those test kits sold. The wider the
contamination (and the more permanent), the more money they'll
make. The more GMOs released, the more types of tests have to
be done. Even after the original GMO has been recalled, tests will
still have to be made, as long as occasional positives turn up. What
a scam...
