Can someone fill me in on what happened to the anthrax problem of last year.  It seems that no one is interested anymore, the media has dropped it, and there's little commentary by anybody from gov.org.

Last I heard, the source of the anthrax that killed those people was domestic.  

Is that true, and does that imply domestic terrorism?  Is that why there's no interest from gov.org?

Why is there no attention being paid to this in the media?

Its not infecting or killing people anymore so you don't here anything about it.  Treating antrax is pretty simple so its not seen as a threat now.  Its not the best thing to use for a terror attack.  There are a lot nastier things out there.

A few day ago I read a news article about this.  I cannot find the link now.

Following the leads of suspected people has fallen through with no results.  Now they are either about to, or seriously considering giving polygraph tests to all those in the United States that have had access to those particular strains of Anthrax and those who could deliver a weapons grade version of it.

I wish I had the link.  I believe it was msn news.
