You're right about anthrax in Texas. I reported on it earlier... In Southwest Corner of Texas, Skin Anthrax Is No Big Deal Message 16571527 However, I still think it might be useful to test certain suspects for antibodies.

They're talking about testing terrorist suspects for anthrax antibodies. Not cattle farmers. Clearly there are certain hotspots, and those in agricultural professions (or wool-sorters) could be exposed. Not likely in the histories of any of the currently detained individuals. I think it's a good idea. A bioweapons defector who came to England was not believed until they tested his blood and found antibodies to every bioweapon he said he'd worked on. Meanwhile--I can't make head or tails of most of the FBI profile. It seems so vague. The one thing I find interesting is the dashes in the date--that is rather unusual--more like a computer person? Instead of slashes. And the "09" is unusual. And the upper case/lower case caps. The rest of it seems uselessly vague.
