If this candy incident were in a place we have not heard of regarding the terrorist threat, I would accept that it is unrelated. But a guy with an expired visa (same MO as many of the 9/11 terrorists) in Wayne NJ -- where Atta rented cars, near where the anthrax mailings went out -- I am not ready to accept that the incident, and/or similar ones, are benign.
I tend to agree. When the first anthrax death ocurred in Florida it was "just an isolated case."
