Anthrax Shots For Military Only

<< Anthrax is caused by a bacillus that can form tiny, airborne spores. If inhaled, the infection carries a high mortality rate, usually leading to death within days. DOD Secretary William Cohen recently used a five-pound bag of sugar to illustrate the fact that a similar amount of anthrax, dispersed in air, could kill half the population of Washington, D.C. >>

<< "It's our number one national security threat," he said. Berry
says military experts believe there is an "over 90% probability of having a major attack in a U.S. city in two to five years." >>

Unfortunately, a 5 lb bag of sugar can easily fit into a diplomatic bag.
