Only when people die...

...and even then, not so much. The FBI doesn't seem to be on the stick here.

This article in the New York Times outlines some intriguing precursors to last Fall's anthrax letters.

The only possible positive spin on this is that, perhaps, whomever perpetrated these hoaxes was trying to draw attention to the lack of preparedness for biological terrorism. When related ~ but fake ~ substances failed to get the attention of the authorities, maybe he rode the coattails of September 11th by using the real thing. A hideous crime, I hasten to add, which killed five people and made many others very sick.
