You have to wonder about the prudence of some American media coverage though. 

I turned on US Today the other night and they had this 'expert' explaining
some details about what you needed to do to get anthrax spores up to the

the dimensions that the spores needed to get to in microns when I tuned
in.) Amazing stuff.
