The Anthrax problem scares me. No one has found any traces of Anthrax in the house of the elderly lady who died recently. She lived in a community of 9,200. The other woman who died also lived alone and traveled very little. No one can figure out what they have in common. If it isn't the mail, there are times when I wonder if a mad scientist is experimenting with Anthrax. I saw a show on tv where a former government scientist used a harmless substance to demonstrate how the aerosol can travel. Initially, the Anthrax lands on the ground, but if a person is knowledgeable and has a great deal of experience, it is possible for the spores to become airborne once again. The former government scientist said the terrorists were becoming very sophisticated. There was an article in the paper earlier this week about the publication of articles on bioterrorism and How to make bombs. A person can buy these articles very easily and they are often available at gun shows. Since you can buy them at gun shows, I believe it is unlikely Ashcroft or the Justice Department will try and stop their publication because Ashcroft is a gun fanatic. Also, Ashcroft, the Attorney General, is far too busy with his role as America's top Gestapo Chief! JMOP
