How many of you took Cipro for 6 months?

I am a government employee, and I started carrying a handgun after I appeared on international television explaining how what we did could help defeat Saddam in the first Gulf War. I also worried about Noriega's thugs for three years down in Panama.

But - I think it is not fair to say that government workers are at greater risk than are private sector citizens. Most of those who died in 911 were private sector, and, as I recall, the first to die of Anthrax in that attack were private sector from a publishing firm.

In the private sector, they have the risks, but not the support network that we do.
