Sensing a threat, the team drove straight to a university lab.Dr. Allan Claxton, the head researcher, agreed to an X-ray. The scanner revealed dense, calcified clusters packing the core. He grabbed a scalpel to investigate, but the second the blade exposed the interior, Dr. Claxton dropped his clipboard in shock and immediately called the FBI!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the moss balls were thousands of invasive zebra mussels, packed to act as a biological time bomb.
