It has been revealed in the media that fatal toxic poisons had been developed by 'an intelligence agency' which could be administered by being applied to clothing. Hence any coverall or other article of clothing worn by scientists could be 'got at' by hostile agents when being laundered or whatever - and the poison would eventually cause the victim to die of a heart attack or sudden illness.
One country which allegedly had such a program now has a radically different government. But one of the disaffected members of the programme could easily have supplied material to national agencies which wouldn't exactly welcome British success in underwater detection techniques......
