Thanks. I'll try to get a copy of "Outrage Factors and Explanations in News Coverage of the Anthrax Attacks". It appears to have never been downloaded. The subject seems interesting, though.
I've got a regular visitor to my site who lives in Kansas. Maybe it's the author of the article.
The authors of the September 2004 article in the Nonproliferation Review include a Principal member of the technical staff at Sandia National Laboratories and two biosecurity analysts at Sandia National Laboratories.
The authors state:
“The Bacillus anthracis in this attack had additionally been coated with a substance to eliminate the electrostatic charge so that the spores would not be attracted to one another and clump together, thus increasing their ability to remain aerosolized.”
