I don't think this is the talk I was looking for, but this covers all the points in the one I was thinking about. It's kind of possible to get the DNA sequence of a lethal bacteria, and then pay some DNA synthesis company to make that DNA for you and package that into a living bacteria.

Obviously doing that will immediately trigger automated detection systems and the FBI will be scheduling a surprise birthday party for you.... but who knows how secure that system is.
