"It's high-grade," said Mr. Patrick, who consults widely on making germ defenses. "It's free flowing. It's electrostatic free. And it's in high concentration." Let's see:
Free-flowing? Check
Electrostatic free? Check
High concentration? Check
So the only thing saving us from mass infection with free-flowing, electrostatic free, high concentration anthrax Our only hope is that the terrorists don't have 40 to 50 pounds of this stuff to release. Seems to me if they have the resources to make anthrax with these three key characteristics, they've got brresources to make it in a fairly large quantity.
There's no possible way they could do this right? It would require resources equivalent to hijacking four commercial airliners at the same time------impossible, right?
And of course the terrorists would never find any people willing to commit suicide by circulating in a crowd releasing the infection spores without conspicuous isolated breathing equipment?
I don't know about you, but I'm not going to any large crowd events, like football games or the World Series.
