Sounds a bit more plausible than reds under the bed.

I am open to the idea it isn't them however....
I am not an expert in chemical weapons but apparently nerve agents are exceedingly hard to make, obtain and store. It doesn't sound plausible that you could unintentionally come across a nerve agent and carry it around with you unwittingly. I assume it has to very carefully stored and managed.
Also what could she possibly buy that just happens to contain a nerve agent?
At best someone could have had to have given that to her to take back.
I think a former Russian spy who'd turned being targeted by those he turned against is more likely than accidentally flying around Europe with nerve agents. Where is this speculation coming from?
