>Which is not to say that a newspaper can't be used as a delivery vector for anthrax spores, a determined group could do this. But it would almost certainly require the compromise of the print shop, with terrorists hand-sifting the spores into the finished newspapers pages after the printing and folding processes have been completed.
Which rules out a photo editor and mail room guy getting accidently exposed to it. This is sounding more and more like it's incredibly manpower intensive for so few results.
How long could the spore live in a newspaper? Its probably not the ideal environment. The bacteria must need a degree of moisture, correct temperature, and protection from ultra violet light in order to survive. Curious how long this spore survives outside the lab.
