From converstations with my brother, I gather that at the Trenton Post Office they were unable to mesh up the types of trays and where the trays came from with the carriers and handlers who came down with anthrax. So I'm considering your theory, but there are four things weighted toward a drop in the Trenton area:

1. The return addresses are central Jersey.
2. The actual anthrax in Trenton.
3. The report --Great Satan has posted it before -- of the men arrested who were seen holding a clear plastic bag with envelopes in it.
4. Other reports of Arab/Paki terrorists in the Central Jersey area.

New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the Union. There are tens of millions of people within 100 miles of New Jersey! There are numerous Arabs and Pakistanis in New Jersey and nearby areas, but the Detroit metro area has many more. Northern Virginia also has a great number of Arabs and Pakistanis. Although false IDs and money laundering took place in Northern Virginia there are as yet no reports that the anthrax attack was generated there. Note that the greater number of anthrax targets were located within 15 miles of one of the greatest concentration of Arabs and Pakistanies on the East Coast (Fairfax County, VA).

Florida is also heavily populated but the density is nowhere near that of New Jersey, nor are there numerous Saudi Arabians in the Palm Beach area.

That some aspect of this event would incidentally include New Jersey is not unlikely. That any aspect would include Boca Raton is exceedingly unlikely as an incidental matter.

I can go down the street about 1/4 mile and stop into any one of 5 halal butcher shops. They have give-away newsletters concerning the various Islamic communities in the US. Some of these newsletters come from New Jersey. Some are from Detroit. Others are locally generated. A terrorist would have ample resources to use to concoct fake return addresses in New Jersey.

So far not a single person who has been detained in New Jersey has been demonstrated to have any real relationship to the anthrax attack. There were people detained. There were thorough searches of homes and businesses. Cars were examined in great detail. The lifestyles and relationships of hundreds of people were looked at with a fine-toothed comb. Mailboxes were ripped out of the ground and studied.

On the other hand we now have a confirmation that at least one of the Florida based attackers was diagnosed as having an anthrax-like infection, and he was treated. Two others in Florida sought medications for what could be cutaneous anthrax. One of the victims in Florida was married to a woman who was known to two of the attackers.

The evidence points to Florida, and to people in Florida who had relationships with some people in New Jersey, Virginia and South Carolina. The logical conclusion is the anthrax attack was mounted from Florida by terrorists residing in Florida. An accurate understanding of normal postal operations illuminates the process.
