This is EXACTLY what terrorists try to accomplish.
Disruption, fear, and panic.
It gives them the win.
It also gives the fed exactly the excuses they need to push
through the legislation they had waiting in the wings.

they'll get the win after the millionth false alarm and then release something that won't respond to cipro or any other anti-biotic

So, you want them to ignore a possible substance and allow passengers to walk right in to another attack?

Why spend all the money for more security if you want them to ignore possible problems. I want them to spot problems and check them out for my safety when flying. Otherwise, I am the next innocent passenger that will be killed when something they chose to ignore was in fact a substance that could have been investigated. Hm....guess there would be a number of lawsuits there. Great for the lawyers.
