re: Anthrax risk to Postal workers not expected.
"Attackers who had the skills to mill the clumps of spore down to a very fine size would have been expected to use a more sophisticated delivery method, Peters said."
Duh ! They tried to rent crop dusters in several locations!!! Wouldn't the fact that they tried to rent crop dusters tell us that: One, they have a significant amount of Anthrax here in the U.S., and Two, they had it milled to weapons grade ? How can we continue to underestimate what these animals can do and will do ??

It seems foolhardy to apply common sense evaluations to what the terrorists will or won't do. Prior to September 11th, common sense would have dictated that terrorists never would have tried to -- or been able to -- take over a number of planes using boxcutters and then fly them into buildings.
