Crop dusters cause panic in Mississippi
BY JAMES TARANTO WSJ Opinion On-Line Best of the Web Today
"A crop duster sprayed a white substance on the U.S. Coast Guard post just north of the Natchez-Adams County Port in the lower Mississippi River," the Associated Press reports. No word on what the substance was. On Friday a crop duster sprayed a towboat and a pleasure boat on the lower Mississippi. Reports of Mohamad Atta's interest in crop dusters--presumably as a way of delivering biological or chemical weapons--make the Mississippi incidents unsettling.
Meanwhile, Mayor Anthony Williams of Washington confirms it was anthrax that killed two postal workers in his city.
