CB,

When 6 year old Billie in Bozeman Montana contracts inhalation anthrax because the happy birthday letter from his grandmother found its way into the same the cardboard letter tray that Senator Daschle's letter occupied 2 or 3 weeks ago, AND more letters containing anthrax are discovered as things progress, some very serious questions will arise.

"If the books are right, then the more the same amount of dust is spread around, the lower the concentration, and thus it's less likely to cause harm."

If more letters are sent...we're not talking about "the same amount", are we? From all indications...there will be more. That raises concentration. There will be an amount that represents "critical mass". The government knows it and the senders know it. The senders know that the government knows it. The likely course of the anthrax attack based on what everyone knows about each other is that there is likely to be a mass introduction at some point. That could very well happen in a couple weeks.

I find it odd that the govt is saying that since the strain encountered is "domestic", the perpetrators are not likely to be associated with recent terrorist activities here. Hmmmmm...weren't the 767s flown into the WTC and Pentagon domestic flights?????
