I've heard that this letter was apparently PACKED to the gills with finely-milled anthrax goodness. If that's true, that means you'd get a lot of "pullballing" and mushrooming from the letter whenever it got squeezed.

Just to put some things in perspective, more people probably died from car accidents in the time it took me to type this than people have died from anthrax, let alone have confirmed exposure.

nothing personal but I am tired of some freepers playing this anthrax thing down. Should we stop our lives and hide in our homes? no. But this is a bio-attack that grows each day. Somebody said 20,000 people died from the flu last year..well by that logic the 9-11 attacks were minor news because 4 times more people died from the flu then died in the WTC attack.

Just to give it a little more perspective, automobile accidents are as a rule, unintentional accidents. Anthrax is intentional murder or attempted murder whereas it's victims die a nasty horrid death.

There is quite a difference between car accidents and murder.

I'm sick to death of these inane more people have died of...analogies! When terrorists start mowing people down with cars, or start hurling lightening bolts at innocent American civilians then we'll have a valid comparision.

Those killed in car accidents were not murdered.
