Anyone else think that the airplane scare (haha) was a veiled threat

Kind of a...look what can happen scenario?
That's my opinion.

1. Or maybe they've run out of Army anthrax...

2. What do you think anthrax was?

reported by the New York Times

The dry powder used in the anthrax attacks is virtually indistinguishable in critical technical respects from that produced by the United States military before it shut down its biowarfare program, according to federal scientists and military contractor documents. The similarity to the levels achieved by the United States military lends support to the idea that someone with ties to the old program may be behind the attacks that have killed five people. Its high concentration is surprising, weapon experts said, and far beyond what military analysts once judged as the likely abilities of terrorists. The anthrax sent to the Senate contained as many as one trillion spores per gram. If a lethal dose is estimated conservatively at 10,000 microscopic spores, then a gram in theory could cause about 100 million deaths. The letter sent to Tom Daschle, the Senate Democratic leader, is said to have held two grams of anthrax.

3. It was a veil alright.

A veil of deception on the American people. Just enough to keep the Terra in their hearts.

4. Well... YEAH!

Wasn't flight 93 supposed to be heading for the Capitol building?

Congress has been constantly under threat.

Not so thinly veiled.
