The case that focused in on the anthrax issue and caused some major security shake-ups came from right here where I live. A guy in Lancaster, Ohio (6 miles) with fake credentials purchased a nice supply on the pretext of being an experimental lab. The family was widely known to be a bit "off" to say the very least.

There are also quite a few "agricultural" labs and the like which do research on anti-toxins with the government also funding research into "super-virus" technology at the same time.....a little side benefit you might say. I'm not a conspiracy nut and indeed, that kind of thing always strikes me as paranoid nutcase thinking, but the fact is, it does go on here, covertly, everyday.
