It probably would have helped their case if they had actually *found* anthrax making equipment on the now-dead suspect.

Dr. Ivins worked in a laboratory where all the necessary equipment was located. It was part of his job to create spores identical to what was in the anthrax letters. He worked long hours ALONE in his lab at the time the spores were being created. The only significant difference between the spores in the letters and the spores created by Dr. Ivins as part of his job was that the spores in the letters were dry. But spores will dry all by themselves if allowed to do so. So, drying spores is NOT difficult. Ivins knew how to do it.

Nope. You can't name the machines that Dr. Ivins had access to.
