US security agency monitors whisky plant

The Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay was contacted by the Defence Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) of US, after an agent clicked on to the distillery's website. The agent revealed this way the organisation's interest in the whisky plant after alerting the distillery to the fact that one of its webcams was faulty. Cameras had been former installed by the company to show off its traditional distilling techniques. The distillery manager said all was revealed when he replied to the contact thanking for pointing out the problem. They started a correspondence, when at some stage the manager noticed the sign-off at the bottom with the initials DTRA. Finally the agency gave a fantastic explanation about how the agency's work was all to do with the anti-terrorist threat to US security. They had been monitoring the webcams because the process of making alcohol is close to making weapons of mass distruction, apparently. The US government agency based at Forth Belvoir in Virginia, USA, is responsible for American national security. An agency spokesman was saying the distillery's webcams were of 'no official interest'.
