>>Because how would the spores stick to an envelope and then get airborne only when the recipient got it?<< We already know that the spores were so small that they leaked out thru the pores in the original envelope. My guess is that a few of them could also leak into another envelope while the mail is in a mailsack that is being carried and tossed around. If so, these could become airborne and cause infection to the person opening the second letter. And the quantities might be too small to detect in that person's home several weeks later. When loose spores do become airborne in someone's home, they are most likely to eventually settle on the floor and get vacuumed up. I think the FBI should conduct some experiments to see if this theory holds up.
