as long as the anthrax scares are centered around letters in the mail,there is nothing to be scared about other than not wanting to be a recipient of such a letter. As an actual effective overall terror event it is not even close,but is, instead,at most in the Unabomber category. Once the general public has gotten it memorized that anthrax is not contagious the fear factor should drop strongly. If ever a day arrived when say 10 cases(exhibiting lung involved symptons) turn up in one day ,then it is time to know a real terror event has happened. But the lack of such an event is indicating the terrorist have no such capability. I feel if any terrorist(within the U.S.) had so much as 10lbs of weaponized anthrax spores,we would have heard about it now. These mailroom events are i feel revealing weakness rather than strength regards there being a real anthrax threat in the U.S.Max p.s. only a large amount dispersed in just the right wind conditions into a heavily populated area with people being out of doors,would cause a major catastrophe. and to that they need a plane plus over 100lbs. of weaponized anthrax. They can't do it,imo.Max
