Minor nit - you can't transmit anthrax from person to person - it isn't "contagious"

That's a pretty significant nit, actually.

Of course, I am glad you caught that. But you sure can transmit smallpox.

I am personally much more worried about smallpox precisely for that reason. There is no way, they can inoculate everyone in time.

One of my pet issues is that the government refuses to make smallpox vaccine available, so at least those who want to, can make a personal decision to get the vaccine.

You're not suggesting that if someones clothing had a high level of anthrax present (via exposure as described in the threat) that you would be willing to share a taxi with that person from La Guardia to Manhattan?

Would you even knowingly get on the same bus with that person even you were way in the back and that person in the front?

I agree it's not "contagious"...like a cold, but it's highly transmitable none-the-less.

I can bet that FairOpinion knows that; what FairOpinion meant, I believe, is that the anthrax spores would be moved around the plane.

I see your point, but the stuff that was spread around before was small enough to get shook from passenger to passenger and transferred via air flow.
