Maybe they will start taking the Anthrax threat seriously now.
So far all I have seen is the Government saying its not a threat and the so called experts saying well this or that letter was very crude weapon, its hard to create a 5 micron aerosol, the nozzles on crop dusters can't generate a fine mist, the bad guys can't spray a fine mist without exposing themselves, etc.
Couple of points.
(1) Anthrax letters may be crude, but they work, meaning they cause the persons exposed to take the required CIPRO treatment and cause panic/terror.
(2) How long do think it would take for somebody who stole a crop duster to change a dozen fuc*ing nozzles!
(3) If terrorists are willing to die crashing a plane into a building then they are certainly willing to go into a building, locate an air intake, and start spraying Anthrax mist into the entire building A/C system.
(4) I can think of several ways myself to create a time-delay aerosol 'bomb' which could be left in a building then 'detonted' later.
The Government needs to tell people the truth. Its not time to start jumping off buildings but this is a serious threat, one which can consume many of our resources to control.
(5) Smallpox is contaiguous, easily spread, has a 30% kill rate, and there is not nearly enough vaccine to go around.
This is a very serious situation in my opinion. WHICH IS WHY WE MUST PROSECUTE THIS WAR VIGOROUSLY, WHICH IS WHAT IS CURRENTLY BEING DONE. Do not be dissuaded by pictures of bombed out 'baby food factories' starving 'innocents' and other such nonsense. THIS IS TOTAL WAR.
