And the same is true for magazines at a newsstand. Remember, too, that thus far, the anthrax hasn't killed or even infected that many people--a handful, compared to what happened at the WTC and the Pentagon. So they're not very efficient in any event--and for that, we can be most thankful!!

Yes. We have been fortunate.

Maybe the newspaper was only used to hide the contaminated letter until it was mailed. Maybe it wasn't intended as a weapon, but to hide a weapon. I guess it could have been thrown in a trash can, then picked up off the top of the can by some unsuspecting commuter who brought the paper onto a train.
