Could just be a legitimate cropduster with a bonehead pilot.

Why are we allowing crop-dusters to fly? Why are we allowing any light aircraft to fly without special dispensation? This is crazy.

It was just a breaking news thing ..... now they're back to regular programming. But that makes two local stations that have broken in with the story.

Oh, I just realized .... WBTV is channel 3 ..... it's 2 on my cable.

And who would be crop dusting in North Carolina in late October? What crops? Growing season is long over, my friend.

There have been some things happening down here in Florida that are not being reported also. Last Wednesday, letter with powder delivered to hospital in Delray Beach. Hazmat comes, takes tests. HR and mailroom shut down since then. Employees are still in the dark as to the test results.

I don't care if it's Bin Laden's gang or a sick prank - no mercy should be shown for this.

Hurt children? You think? Naw it's got to be right wing extremists. From Stratfor.com

"American companies in Pakistan have reportedly received anthrax-laden mail over the last two weeks. An international bank and a computer-marketing firm are the only known targets hit, and their staffs are being treated with antibiotics. The Pakistani government is allegedly keeping it quiet while they decide what course of action to take, the Pakistani Jang reported. 2007 GMT, 011024 "

More right wing extremists. Oh ok. We're gullible. It's domestic.

Bert from Sesame Street was Bin Laden's sign to go after our kids. Halloween has started I fear. 48 hours of terror? They want us to snap and lash out at all Islam. Can we restrain ourselves?

Anyone ever notice that Free Republic is the fastest national news source. CNN will report this in a few hours I bet. Of course it may not be true, but we tend to get confirmation posts that say if it is or not.

Bioweapons degrade in sunlight.

Anthrax spores are very, very hardy, though.

The idea is that they can be used to contaminate areas for years.

My source happened to be working as well as I am away right now. I do not appreciate you thinking I would post a BOGUS anthrax scare about kids. As a father of a 2 yr old I am insulted at the thought that you would bring me to that level.

There have been several 'occurences' that have later been found out to be hoaxes, or overreactions, or nothing at all.

If this is the exception, and an attack by the terrorists on American children, I can easily see a large number of patriots in North Carolina taking up arms, and finding the terrorists themselves instead of waiting for the bozos in DC to do anything.

People are buying up ammo and magazines left and right. I'm not talking about .38 caliber bullets for grandmother. I'm talking about .223 'assualt weapon' ammo, and 30 round pre-ban magazines. They are selling faster than people can keep them in stock, and if more terrorist attacks occur here, I can see patriots putting their new toys to good use.

No I won't 'knock it off'. Give me some facts and I'll respond with sober thinking. Panic NEVER helps a situation, be it a traffic accident or a full on attack. I pray it's a false report. If not we deal with it and respond as needed to the perps.
