Sample idea: Supply chains
Supply chains present a good opportunity for crime. There are
so many of them and the
people involved at various points along the chain aren't
always vetted. Even if they have a completely
unblemished record, they might just be waiting for the perfect
moment to strike.
Let's take the supply of pharmaceuticals from the manufacturer
to a country doctor as an
example. There are opportunities at every stage for the drug
to be switched for something
more lethal, the wrong label applied, and so on. The wrong ingredients
could be added
during manufacturing, it could be put into the wrong packaging,
it could be sent to the
wrong place. There's probably a regional warehouse where
the local surgeries and pharmacists send their orders for new
stock. They'll need
security guards and admin staff,
some of whom might be corruptible. A delivery driver could stop
off in a quiet country
lane and switch the boxes around or add something that he's
carrying with him. At the
surgery a rogue nurse or the person in charge of the drug cabinet
could switch the boxes,
replace the labels, or add extra ingredients. And then there's
the doctor himself - some of
them have turned out to be serial killers.
That's just one interesting supply chain
for you to explore. What other supply chains can you
think of, and what scope is there for crime?
