Get your Anthrax shots

Those of you in urban soft target areas, expecially any of you living or
working in DC or NYC, may want to consider getting vaccinated against
Anthrax. It might come in handy before long.

>From an US Army (?) press release:
| The immunizations, requiring six shots over 18 months followed by annual
| booster shots, will begin next summer with 100,000 American troops in
the

I thought these shots were "For Government Use Only."

Seems like more and more things are being declared For Law Enforcement Use
Only (causing we peons to have to pay more in the black markets and gun
shows for the Good Stuff).

Seriously, I'd guess that anyone showing up a doctor's office asking for an
Anthrax series is pretty much guaranteeing they'll be reported to the
Security Services.

Well I don't know about you Tim but my Doctors only know me as Mr. Cash.

And unfortunately the long immunization period makes it
impossible to be ready when they let out Jim Bell very soon.

The Dec 21 issue of Dagens nyheter, Sweden's number
one morning paper, has a piece (in the science section)
on terrorism with biological weapons, how easy it is
to grow Anthrax, Irak, the Japaneese sect, all the
usual stuff. Two (2) biological terrorists are named
in this globally surveying research article:

1) Larry Wayne Harris, allegedly a microbiologist in
Ohio who was sentenced for the posession of 'three bottles'
of bubonic plague bacteria in 1995. Harris, said the article,
had been engaged in the rasist organization Aryan Nation.

2) Our own stinkbombing, taxavoiding, SSN-forging Jim Bell:

(translated)

***********************************************************
Last april, after several years of inquiries, the American
police arrested the chemist James Dalton Bell, who has an
education from the ruputable Massachusets Institute of
Technology. Bell had several containers with poisonous
chemicals in his garage. Right-wing extremist litterature
and bomb-making manuals were found in his car. When
interrogated, his acquaintances told that Bell had been
trying to manufactor botulinum toxin from green beens.
**********************************************************

It's interesting to see the story grow when journalists
quote from each other's sensationalist reports. Next time
they need a face for a story on nuclear terrorism, I guess
other devices might pop up retrospectively in Jim's garage.
Perhaps he even had a suitcase there.

Actually, it's legal to possess bubonic plague bacteria, and anthrax as
well.  It's even possible to order anthrax from the same lab that supplied
Harris with the bubonic plague bacteria, and this is reportedly the same
lab that supplied Iraq with its anthrax.  According to Harris, all you
need to provide is a lab ID number, and in fact, this is what Harris was
prosecuted for -- illegal use of the ID number for the lab he worked at.

I'll take a stab at writing that squib, but journalists who use it should
credit me:

"Bell was also apparently planning a nuclear terrorism incident, as nuclear
materials were found attached to the ceiling in his home. When agents from
the Nuclear Emergency Search Team (N.E.S.T.) had successfully removed the
material, Bell was questioned about these nuclear materials. "It's just a
smoke detector!," he was reported to have claimed. N.E.S.T. officials
believe Bell was attempting to hide nuclear weapons components in ordinary
looking items. According to Special Agent  Emmanuel Goldstein, Bell was
practicing "nuclear steganography," a felony."
