and yet another case i heard

the terrorists are trying to shutdown our mail i suspect

im not sure we can win a war of this kind(i know thats exactly what they want us to think)

This is a very ineffective way of doing this. It hardly counts as terror and mail can be traced.

I am more inclined to believe that they are "testing the waters". They probably want to see if we really do not have a large store of anthrax vaxcine and what effect a few cases of anthrax outbreaks would have on the public (getting an idea of the terror involved in a larger attack). I have a bad feeling that this is a test for a real attack by air or other means.

anthrax is not the best choice for an air attack from time:

Yet manufacturing sufficient quantities of any bacteria in a stable form is a technical and scientific challenge; plague bugs, for example, degrade within hours when exposed to the sun, and anthrax spores tend to clump together in humid conditions. The Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo sprayed anthrax and botulism eight times over parts of Tokyo without effect.

Despite all the attention being given crop dusters, using one to spread germs is not as easy as it sounds. The planes are designed to spray pesticides in heavy, concentrated streams, whereas bioweapons are ideally scattered in a fine mist over as large an area as possible. The nozzles in crop dusters are best suited to discharging relatively large particles — 100 microns in diameter — not tiny one-micron specks of bacteria.

the real threat ,and what terrifies me to death,is smallpox

a single case could result in millions of deaths

Law Enforcement came into my wife's office yesterday and took all their mail. She works at DMV. I wonder if it's been done in other states as well.
