Have any of you chaps been advised in any NOTAC's not to take "suspect FMD virus samples" ?

The newspaper said,

The exercise ended at 5pm yesterday. Charles Milne, head of the state veterinary service in Scotland, said response had been positive and rapid, using lessons learned from 2001, but blips included the airline charged with taking virus samples south for analysis refusing to accept them and a delay in tracking down some officials.

Many thanks.
