creating chaos & death beyond imagination Anthrax is very nasty stuff, but it isn't magical. You need a few spores to kill someone, and 99% of spores will never get inhaled unless you spray them up each individual victim's nose. The few grams of anthrax someone could disperse in clothing would be very nasty in terms of decontaminating all the places that person passed through, but it would not be a devastating attack.

The average person *can* ingest some thousand or so spores and easily survive; it HIGHER NUMBERS of the spores that work together to overwhelm the body in its defense response ...

In most transportation systems I know of there is adjustable ventilation "jets" of air with sufficient force to more than adequately disperse the agent/agents! Thanks for the reply though!
