GV I heard there are companies producing products you inhale that are killing MILLIONS and so far the government has requested that the very obvious penis-type nose on Joe Camel be removed ASAP! Where is the urgency there? Last report I saw showed the rate of decline in smokers in U.S. has not lessened nearly as fast as gov't expected. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.

GV,

re: Just think about it this way, there's someone, somewhere, that is trying to kill people intentionally with anthrax.

Just think of it this way, at this very moment there are 1000's of people driving drunk, trying to unintentionally kill people.

Anthrax as an individual risk is about like getting hit by lightening. If you don't go out in thunderstorms (or you are careful with your letters), it's damn close to nil.

Anthrax is a great terrorist weapon, once you get a couple of successful exposures, you can scare the hell out of the whole country with one package of baby powder.
