That is what has me disturbed.

What if 1 or more terrorists on the planes had a container of anthrax spores with them?

Sooner or later we could possibly dig them up and expose ourselves. A large number of people in a small area would be exposed rapidly.

If anything like this did occur, it is hopeful that the intense heat/fire destroyed any bio weapon they could have carried on board an aircraft.

Sources say NBC letter contained threatening message to U.S. and Israel

On air at 5PM Pacific, CNN also stated that the letter praised Allah, and had arabic phrases written in it.

If jet fuel burns hot enough to soften the steel supports of the WTC, it burned plenty hot enough to annihilate any odd anthrax spores (which are very susceptible to temperature and humidity).

i'm pretty certain that being burned to atoms makes anthrax less infectuous.

I know for a fact that biocontamination was checked for at the WTC site after the attack and before any anthrax victims were discovered. There is a lot the feds aren't talking about.

I do know for a fact that the CDC was at WTC site for at least two weeks after the bombing to test for disease etc. Didn't find anything then. Hopefully, that means there is nothing.

"(what if one) had a container of anthrax spores with them"

Then they are dust. Anthrax dies if exposed to so much as bright sunlight. The fireball from the plane impact was over 1000 degrees. The energy released in the tower collapse turned whole people into vapor, literally. There is no danger whatever of mere spores having lived through it.
