What if one bad guy on antibiotics, mailed an anthrax envelope to another bad guy on antibiotics, or even to himself. As long as the envelope wasn't lumpy or scattering visible dust, it would secretly contaminate the postal system en route and then conveniently disappear.

Worse yet, one bad guy could rent a PO Box, mail anthrax to the box, and it could be sitting there never to be claimed.

Plausible, even more than you think, from a medical standpoint... The guys could be vaccinated.

But they'd have to be mighty dumb to put their own address on an anthrax letter, on the chance it might get detected before getting back to them.
