#1 If media reports are correct, less than 10 grams (1/3 of an ounce) of Anthrax almost shut down to US Post Office system. Under State and Federal Occupational Health and Safety acts, under general shutdown conditions, the public would have had to pay postal workers full wages until safety was restored. Besides the human tragedy that would unfold, an event of that nature would be a fiscal nightmare. There are tons of weapons grade anthrax out there, and millions of jihadis who would use it against civil populations. In light of these dangers, the public should accept risk abatement measures, even if same involves suspension of some freedoms.
