I can bet that FairOpinion knows that; what FairOpinion meant, I believe, is that the anthrax spores would be moved around the plane.

Thanks, Donna. Yes, I know that anthrax is not conagious. The article made a misleading, or at least unclear statement. That was what g35x pointed out.
Here is the quote from the article -- in their effort to include everything in one paragraphs, they sacrifices accuracy.
"The possibilities, as described by three intelligence officials, include releasing an undetectable biological agent, such as smallpox virus or anthrax spores, aboard a plane that passengers would then unknowingly spread; releasing a chemical agent to debilitate the passengers and crew so the plane could be hijacked, and sneaking a radiological device aboard a plane inside a piece of luggage.
