The building (National Postal Equipment Repair Facility) had recieved equipment from five postal facilities that had been contaminated with anthrax on the East Coast.
The decision to evacuate the building (at the Forbes Industrial Park in Topeka, Kansas) came after seven employees called the health agency Tuesday morning reporting flu-like symptoms. An eighth person who works as a postal worker in Topeka reported similar symptoms.
The health agency responded by taking nasal swabs from each employee for testing by the Kansas Department of Health and Enviornment.
LOL - I had to paste "prescient" into Word and use the thesaurus!
I've posted this elsewhere, but this is a good place too - What if OBL and his ilk's real goal is to contaminate the mail equipment so it in turn infects everyone's mail going through it? We get death delivered right to our door!
Wouldn't it be interesting to do some tests to see what antibodies all the "militant" arabs here have that aren't part of our standard innoculations? Might just show what they know that we don't.
If being safe and done with all this $hit makes me a racist, then so be it.
