I'd totally do that if I were the owner. Hell, I'd even take out a recurring ad in the paper. It's all good press for them, as it sems evident that it was a targetted poisoning, and as they say - any press is good press. Driving me crazy that now that I actually can consume raw fish again I can't convince B to go with me for a sushi meal! Gah!! That’s AWESOME. I’d totally do that if I were the owner.

I think of that when I choose to buy my groceries with a card (so I have one consolidated record of where my money goes) rather than with cash... And if I can see it, Scotland Yard could too. It's an intriguing story and I wouldn't be surprised if something circumstantial like that ends up breaking it. Tune in next time! Very good point, Colin.

This included making a personal visit to an NPR reporter at his home in the US and showing him photos of the suspects. Very thorough, and a reminder of the digital trail we leave behind us everywhere.
