What if somebody figures out how to give the tabloid paper an anthrax insert?
They have said they would target the immoral part of our society - Tabloids could be percieved that way. But with a 2nd employee with it, makes it beyond the realm of accidental or natural I would think.
Way too soon to know. The blood tests haven't even been completed yet. This happened only a few hours ago.
There are many other things that can cause bleeding of this nature, and it might just be a remarkable coincidence that these four women were admitted in the middle of the night.
When I get further information, I'll be sure to pass it on. I hope to report that it's all a false alarm.
A definite contradiction, unless The Sun keeps animal herds in the building.
The reports in the Miami Herald and Sun-Sentinel are now dropping references to the fact that some of the terrorists stayed in Palm Beach County, and reportedly flew planes from an airfield very close to the Sun; instead they are referencing only the cropduster incident, 40 miles away. The Palm Beach Post story still references the Palm Beach County terrorist connection.
I'm not normally paranoid, but this disinformation is getting on my nerves.

That said, my understanding of the disease doesn't make me think such an attack would be very successful.
JMO, but I don't think that all the copies of the Sun and the National Enquirer are printed at the same location. The tabloids probably send a computer copy to a "local" printer(such as a printer in California, for the west coast). The tabloids are printed there and then "physically" sent out to retail outlets.
My theory throughout this whole incident is that The Sun was trying to do an expose on how easy it would be to get anthrax. The media has been outdoing itself trying to show us how lax airport security is and how unprepared we are for terrorist attacks. I say The Sun wanted to trump everyone with the acquisition of a biological weapon and it backfired horribly on them.
It's tough to get a feel for possible motives in this one.
Or perhaps they had "an exclusive interview" with a "terrorist" who brought more than information with him or her. I wonder how easy it is to gain access to the building?
keep us informed(:^{
What really concerns me is the lack of forthrightness from officials, and the apparent absence of a truly free press.
Also, as a photo editor, he was probably on the road everyday all over Florida - shooting pics.
Sheesh, I am a nature photographer, often tromp around in the marshes and wilderness, the more wild the better. Do you know, is this a disease of domesticated animals and their environment. Maybe I'll take up photography of urban environments. On second thought . . .
