There is no excuse.
These questions have to be answered not only by Baxter itself. It looks difficult to believe that viral and potentially lethal samples can cross the US border, pass the Atlantic, arrive the European Union and get into three countries without any or adequate control. While every tourist has to present his fingerprints and electronic registered passports entering the United States, institutions like the US Homeland Security should stay alert: Lacks in pharmaceutical companies may be the deadly door to future bioterrorist attacks.
Baxter official Bio: "Pei-yuan Chia, age 63, has served as a director of Baxter since 1996. Mr. Chia was vice-chairman of Citicorp and Citibank, N.A., its principal subsidiary, from 1994 to 1996 when he retired. From 1993 to 1996, he served as a director of Citicorp and Citibank, N.A., and assumed responsibility for their global consumer business in 1992. Between 1974 and 1992, Mr. Chia held various senior management positions in Citicorp and Citibank, N.A., and was Citibank, N.A.'s senior customer contact for corporate banking activities in Asia. Mr. Chia also serves as a director of American International Group, Inc., and Bank of China (Hong Kong), Limited."
American International Group
Pei has been a director of AIG since 1996. Fellow directors include Frank J. Hoenemeyer, emeritus trustee of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Carla A. Hills. RWJF Trustee Edward E. Matthews was a director of AIG until 2002.

I'm not saying it isn't a big deal. It's negligent, careless, and dangerous. Being careless with lab samples is not the same thing as spiking vaccines with killer viruses though.

Sounds like CIA-sponsered experiments.

I think it helps to think of it this way.
1. Those involved in this conversation are human beings.
2. Most or all of us have had jobs.
3. Those who have had jobs, whether it was frying chicken or an orthopedic surgeon has learned that there are way things are suppose to be done and the way things usually are done.
4. #3 sometimes has negative consequences which are the responsibility of the person who followed the conventional "wisdom" of #3.
5. The people who handled the virus were a) people like you and me b) work in a place like yours and mine.
6. Their negative consequences (#4) have (potentially) more serious side effects than the guy who cleans out the chicken fryer at KFC or even a nurse who does not wash his hands before doing a dressing change in the hospital (except maybe to the person who gets the infection). It makes the news and someone in the German government gets upset.
7. That we are corner cutting little apes does not make a conspiracy. It comprises part of the human condition.

Just after 9 a.m. on Aug. 29, a group of U.S. airmen entered a sod-covered bunker on North Dakota's Minot Air Force Base with orders to collect a set of unarmed cruise missiles bound for a weapons graveyard. They quickly pulled out a dozen cylinders, all of which appeared identical from a cursory glance, and hauled them along Bomber Boulevard to a waiting B-52 bomber.
The airmen attached the gray missiles to the plane's wings, six on each side. After eyeballing the missiles on the right side, a flight officer signed a manifest that listed a dozen unarmed AGM-129 missiles. The officer did not notice that the six on the left contained nuclear warheads, each with the destructive power of up to 10 Hiroshima bombs.

Ok, lets do that.

Human sloppiness is not a respector of occupation or education.
Whether it be our propensity to devolve into name calling or to cut corners, I have rarely lost a bet when I gambled on people acting like people, no matter what the letters are after their name or what job they have been given.

You can complete the circle here by announcing the Fed, the gov(whoever the f*** they are), and the banks were so damn incompetent they could have never predicted trillions of dollars of public money would end up in their private wallets.
It might be funnier if your next counterargument revolves around NORAD failing on 9/11.
"people acting like people"
I only messin with you cause you're intelligent for the most part, only your world mythology has nothing to do with reality, quite the norm with American culture.
strikes me as an idealogical statement. I prefer pragmagtism and looking at problems on a case by case basis. This does not make me an apologist, I would say it makes me an independent thinker.Never was and never will be a mistake regarding nukes.
"It was live," Christopher Bona said in an email.
The contaminated product, which Baxter calls “experimental virus material,” was made at the Orth-Donau research facility. Baxter makes its flu vaccine — including a human H5N1 vaccine for which a licence is expected shortly — at a facility in the Czech Republic.
People familiar with biosecurity rules are dismayed by evidence that human H3N2 and avian H5N1 viruses somehow co-mingled in the Orth-Donau facility. That is a dangerous practice that should not be allowed to happen, a number of experts insisted.
Accidental release of a mixture of live H5N1 and H3N2 viruses could have resulted in dire consequences.
While H5N1 doesn’t easily infect people, H3N2 viruses do. If someone exposed to a mixture of the two had been simultaneously infected with both strains, he or she could have served as an incubator for a hybrid virus able to transmit easily to and among people.
That mixing process, called reassortment, is one of two ways pandemic viruses are created.
