The deadly tale of the salmonella outbreak that came out of a company in Georgia - how its products killed nine people and how the Peanut Corporation of America, and owner Stewart Parnell hid damning test results - has rocked the country. It has also shocked two suburban Illinois congressmen.

"A broker visited his facility in the 1980s and said it was a time bomb waiting to go off," said U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk. "If he was a car dealer, he would have been selling cars with no brakes."

Now Congressmen Mark Kirk and Peter Roskam are trumpeting a new law proposed by Roskam. It would give the Food and Drug Administration access to any questionable food testing results.
