Case of Anthrax in NY

[StageLeft]

I was thinking about community watch also. Not a bad idea.

When we talk about anthrax as a bioterrorism weapon, that usually refers to the "weaponizing" of anthrax. This involves obtaining anthrax, drying it, and grinding it up into very small particles. This is a very difficult process, and oftentimes, the bacteria is rendered inactive in the process.

<< I think if it were terrorists it would be much more wide spread. This is probably the work of some Unibomber type. >>




Cept this guy is the Unithraxer

It could indeed get interesting in a big hurry, but given some time we might consider becomming more liberal in our approach to the world. We face titanic problems with population, water, resources, food, climate, erosion, etc, etc. I would propose we use our techonological knowhow to become critically instrumantal in staving off mass planitary extinction.

The death you die is usually never the one you anticipate.

And if we were to go out trying to save the children of the people trying to kill us, well, hey!

Great ... I work in the Fox News Building in NYC.

Wonder how long it'll be until this building is hit.
Today when I came back from lunch, the security staff were all wearing latex-gloves.

Not exactly a confidence-building thing to see.

<< I heard a rumor the FL anthrax came from a lab in Iowa? >>



Yeh, it's a hygenics lab on a reach campus of the U of I about 1.5 miles from my house :Q :Q :Q

Yesterday there were armed guards patrolling the premesis.

the only way a gasmask will help if your wear it 24/7. I guess you can get one and just tell people your in the band
Slipknot, and everyone will think your cool instead of a paranoid freak
