"That's strange. Where was the Sam's located? I doubt they would be able to detect weaponized Anthrax dust injected into the case"Dunno if it's possible, but the bioweapon I'd fear most would be smallpox here. If the candy could be infected, the smallpox would hit a bunch of kids who would go back to school for the next couple of weeks infecting other kids.
And all of these school age kids would have been born after 1972, so they wouldn't even have an admittedly old smallpox vaccine to fall back on.
Doctors?

It is theoretically possible to start a smallpox epidemic in the manner you have described. We did it to the native American Indians in blankets.

Sabertooth painted a scenario in
#28 that I would like to see discussed by medicos.
Would candy-bars injected w/smallpox be an effective medium for transmission?
