Also, these terrorists would likely have been innoculated with anthrax shots or have been provided medicine (Cipro?) as a preventative precaution. Such measures would have protected them to a degree, but not completely. These are my speculative thoughts, for what they're worth

Something here doesn't add up. Lets say the terrorists were involved with anthrax and somehow got infected. The last thing they would do is go to the doctor who might make a correct diagnosis and bring attention to them, and a lot of questions. Who were you with? Where do you think you came in contact with anthrax. Who have you had close contact with. etc.

It would be like smuggling in an atomic bomb and going to the doctor and saying I don't feel well I think I have radiation poisoning.

This thing just doesn't pass the smell test. - Tom

The man wanted to stay alive until Sept. 11.

What was he supposed to do?
Kick the bucket and miss his moment of glory??
