Anthrax/bombs great day for th u.s.

BREAKING NEWS from CNN.com

-- Anthrax spores found in Gov. George Pataki's New York City office, CNN confirms.

Just a heads up. They are saying that a highly refined form of anthrax has infected over 29 people at the capitol. *sigh... Be careful folks.i HEARD THIS ON THE RADIO a few minutes ago heres little more info

In addition, they also said that the spores have been detected in the ventilation system of the Capital Building and the spores associated with the letter and resultant building contamination are VERY high grade, quality and highly virulant and apparently are of weapons grade refinement (can only be acquired from countries with bio-weapon capabilities, can we say Iraq?). The spores were also small enough to enter the lungs of the people exposed and therefore, result in the inhalation form of anthrax. I feel that number of 29 will rise in the next few days since how many people were exposed to the air that the ventilation system provides.

heres the info about SFO
A bag was found in the north terminal of SFO with a bomb in it 100's have been evacuated out of the building and the bomb squad is on sceen as I type..

man our country is seriously gettign a wake up call and man are we becoming awake..This is all rediculous!!!

update on sfo they say it isn't a bomb afterall and have located the bags owner

http://abclocal.go.cUPDATE: SFO PASSENGERS CHECK IN, FBI INVESTIGATES BAG
Passengers at San Francisco International Airport are lining up on the sidewalks outside the north terminal following the discovery of a suspicious bag earlier this morning, and the owner of the bag has been identified by law enforcement officials.
Officials deemed the facility safe enough to resume business shortly before 10 a.m., but the back-up of passengers is significant. Perhaps several thousand people were delayed in entering the terminal and checking in for their flights, most on United Airlines. The airline company has promised to rebook everyone who missed a flight.

Airport spokesman Ron Wilson said, "It's been extremely disruptive, but we take all of these things seriously.''

Wilson said the unattended bag that caused all the commotion was found at about 8:20 a.m.

"It obviously looked suspicious. There was no one around it,'' he said.

They scanned it through the explosives detection machine, which triggered an alert. It also showed what looked like a crossbow, although officials have yet to determine exactly what the object is.

"It could be a false positive, but it's not that often that these units give a signal,'' Wilson said.

The bomb disposal unit is on the scene to investigate the bag, and the FBI has been called to interview its owner.
