Thailand’s Industrial Works Department has promised to tighten regulations, making it compulsory for importers of cyanide to report to the authorities every sale of the lethal chemical, to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands, Jullapong Thaveesri, director-general of the department, said today (Monday).

 

He also said that the department will coordinate with the Office of the Consumer Protection Board to increase measures to regulate online and direct sales of cyanide.

 

Jullapong joined a meeting today with police officers investigating the 14 cases of suspected cyanide poisoning, chaired by Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn, the deputy national police chief.

Stable doors and bolting horses springs to mind.

Jullapong, I have an idea for you: Google "restricted substances and regulatory measures" in other countries and compare them with Thailand's list. You might find more loopholes to pluck. If you are too busy with lunch, an intern could do it for you...

Maybe that's too proactive?

If cyanides can be sold freely without the need to report a buyers details what other potentially lethal poisonous chemicals are currently unregulated?
