countries. It is only contagious after symptom's, particularly the pustules, appear. Therefore, countries with modern medical systems should be able to keep any outbreak contained.

Anthrax? The 'weaponized' anthrax of 2001 is a highly bio-engineered product that I seriously doubt could be developed in a 'kitchen'. It was most likely stolen from a U.S. weapons lab. It is also not contagious, so mass casualties are unlikely.

The only weapon that scares me is a nuke (a real one, not a 'dirty bomb'). And it appears the report says that is unlikely. Good news!!!

Guess they figured Faux viewers needed another Terra scare.
