What do we buy at stores that we inhale, breathe in, sniff, smell, or put up to our mouths or noses? Kleenex? Perfume?

Good suggestions! My vote would be for Kleenex, Puffs, or other disposable tissues. If it were put on at the factory, there would be no evidence of tampering. Since Kleenex is usually thrown out after use, there is no evidence. It could even be Kleenex at the beauty shop...hence no anthrax in the house. Dittos for the lady who died in New York.

Very scary. I have scared myself!

Cigarette?

I have to wonder if there is a "common" mail drop box between the women and a terrorist. If a victim put a letter in a drop box that had just been used to drop off an anthrax letter and she peeked in as far as she could (I've seen old people do this....make sure it's down in the box)....those heavy pull down metal doors must cause a vacuum effect when they are opened and closed. Just a thought, can't come up with anything else. You would assume the authorities would be checking nearby drop boxes, but I've not heard it mentioned.
