A thousand blessings upon your head! I'm sure you will not hear the end of it from the Tinfoil Hat Brigade, however.
We need to remain eternally vigilant, but we don't have to be paranoid and fearful either. It took STATE-milled Anthrax, one of the higest grades, combined with some really foolish decisions, to cause even the handful of deaths we've recently seen. The Aum cult in Japan switched to Sarin out of sheer desperation. Their multiple Anthrax efforts failed, and this was a group with MILLIONS of dollars, factories, and a lot of quiet time on its hands, before 1995.
The terrorists are well aware that most people in America are sheep. They know that just APPEARING to be trying to pull something is pretty much as effective as actually doing the thing.
Lets not get cocky though...

"I'm sure you will not hear the end of it from the Tinfoil Hat Brigade, however." I think you mean the 'sky is falling crowd'. They support a bigger govt. with vast powers to "protect us" from chem., bio., aliens, and any other hazard that will come down the pike. The tin foil hat crowd here, of which I'm a member, supports no such thing. :)
