Anthrax...a ship...Canada...
Sound familiar guys???

It sure does.

By the way, the article says:

The contraband detection section of Canada's customs agency has invited companies to pitch products capable of screening containers and other shipments for toxic biological substances.

What companies would be likely to bid on this? I don't think there are many commercial products available for anthrax screening.

I recollect that the US Postal Office is using some "sniffing" devices...remember the little brouhaha a month or so ago in D.C. where a machine, at first, sensed a positive?
