This verdict will be remembered as the catalyst that got the pendulum swinging. It's a victory for the Chicken Littles of the world. They'll celebrate for now and relish the thought of informing the public of every risk assessment, regardless of how insignificant.

Good scientists weigh the potential lives lost in panic versus the potential lives lost in a natural disaster and usually make the correct choice.
