Has there been any research on Prions as a bio-terrorism weapon? It sounds like you could infect thousands/millions and have a close to 100% death-rate without anyone noticing until many years after the contamination started.

Imaging contaminating food/drinking water with the Prion which causes Kuru [1] for example.
