We hear that network news outlets are taking the germ warfare threat so seriously that they're ready to issue biohazard suits and gas masks to employees in Washington and elsewhere. Our spot check yesterday of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and Fox News revealed that all have been quietly preparing for the possibility, Heaven forbid, of a future smallpox or anthrax attack perpetrated by evildoers.

Maybe this is why Whoraldo and Bonnie Batista are jumping ship. They dont want to be the one stuck reporting on small pox in a biohazard suit.

Aren't they afraid they will somehow compromise their objectivity by wearing a gas mask and protective gear? It would send the message that what is going on is terrorism. No flag pins, no gas masks.

Does anyone recall the article from a while back about how the White House staff were given cipro 6 weeks before the first case of anthrax. Can someone direct me to it please..?

The first thing that comes to mind is "Cowards", but they were hit.
I didn't see any gas masks at the last gun show either.

Try getting an Israel gas mask now. . . Does anyone know where you can get replacement filters..? The other day Martha Stewart showed how by roasting and grinding up apricot pits, one could recycle instead of replace the filter. She grows her own pits, of course, but she said store brought ones are, while not as good, acceptable.
