>The article in post # 16 says this stuff can be made for .75 cents a pound, yet commercial distributors are selling it for $29.95 for 11 ounces. Sandia Lab developed this under a contract with the Department of Energy.

Thanks for the heads up, but of all the things I've got queued up to get angry about, some kind of ersatz-germ killer price gouging is pretty low on my list.

(After all, NASA was tax supported as well, but they won't take people for shuttle rides no matter what people offer... Of course, more seriously, the Internet was developed using tax dollars and now Americans have to pay fees to get access to it...)

My idea is that if the public complains about this, all of a sudden the commercial price might go down and the product should become more available.

If the main ingredient for anthrax disinfecting is simply hydrogen peroxide 3%, I sure as heck would like to know it. I’m not interested in the mustard-gas foam part of the formula right now.

If people who work at my local post office start getting sick, I want to know what to spray my mail with. If it’s just hydrogen peroxide, the whole country needs to know that information right now. We needed to know it 3 weeks ago.
