No, he didn’t say it would take him YEARS. He said it would take him a year.
On access to Ames, you say he worked in the same building and you presume anthrax was kept under lock and key.
So your claim he did not have access is something you presume.
So a more accurate statement is that there is no evidence he ever worked with or possessed anthrax even though he worked in the same building and had an anthrax simulant behind the lettuce in his refrigator.
Why did he have BT in the refrigerator? Was that in preparation for teaching first responders at LSU or was he already teaching first responders?
Isn't it also something stated over and over in court documents? I recall reading something about how he didn't have the security clearance to go just anywhere at USAMRIID and would have to have an escort if he wanted to go somewhere other than the specific lab where he worked.
I don't have the time to argue minutiae.

What difference does it make? He was teaching soldiers how to recognize bioweapons-making equipment. He was planning to teach first responders. It would not be out of the ordinary for someone to have a sample of a harmless simulant like BT if he was planning to teach first responders or soldiers headed to Iraq.
Hatfill seems to be the type of person who would collect anything he felt might be helpful in doing his job -- particularly if that required TEACHING people. He had oddball pieces of equipment in his office. People made a BIG deal about him having some kind of soda-can size fermenter on his desk. And you make a big deal of him owning a silencer. Both seem to be something he'd acquire if given a chance. They'd be things to talk about.
