Where were all of those guys getting the fake passports from-some island near the Bahamas perhaps?

Shep Smith on Fox just announced a 63 yr old man is in critical condition in a Palm Beach hospital with anthrax poisoning. No, I'm not joking. Check the breaking news column. Someone else besides me heard it, I'm sure.

BTW, go here to find out what Tommy Thompson isn't telling us:
Senate Hearing on Bioterrorism Threat -- Sept 5, 2001

Are you kidding???? Money TALKS volumes in the Bahamas...they don't give a rat's butt what these people were gonna do with this plane.

[N00dleN0gg1n]

The single engine plane, which carried only one pilot, took off early Monday from Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands, a dependent territory of the United Kingdom located southeast of the Bahamas.It was en route to Patrick Airforce Base, on Flordia's East Coast south of Cape Canaveral.

Smack in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle, isn't it?

Unless hundreds or thoudsands come down with this in 24 to 48 hours, then its safe to assume this is one of those yearly isolated incidents and not a terrorist attack that got one person.

[Wright is right!]

Earlier stories have said that all the spraying equipment HAD BEEN REMOVED from the aircraft before it began its northward journey. With the spraying equipment removed, this plane wouldn't be any more useful to a terrorist than any other single-engine, single-seat plane. Yeah, granted, it has good slow-speed performance, but so do a lot of other aircraft more easily stolen.

I don't think there's much "there" there.

From Key West. "The Conch Republic."

US Coast Guard Petty Officer Robert Swanson said no signs of the plane had been found as of late Wednesday.

Okay. I am ignorant of search methods, etc., when a plane disappears, and I know zip of the weather in the area. Any chance it's "just" underwater somewhere?

(I suspect that if it had been spreading anthrax post-disappearance, the casualty count even a few hours later would be higher than one. If it's higher than one by the time I send this, disregard this parenthetical remark.)

And now the Anthrax case in Fla...hmmmmm

[newzjunkey]

Any update on the miss Florida HAZMAT truck story posted the same day as the plane went missing? It was out of Gainesville.

The truck and it's legal driver had gone missing on the 14th of Sept. The homing device stopped transmitting. He's left behind a young daughter and gave no indication to family he'd be going somewhere.
