#1 Not sure if these are the same ones or just a smoke screen, but
according to USA Today, some of the samples were found in a FedEx warehouse.

#2 BEIRUT: Samples of a deadly flu virus sent by the College of American Pathologists to more than 3,700 laboratories around the world appear to have gone missing on their way to Lebanon and Mexico, according to the World Health Organization on Friday.

A shame that stupidity isn't a prosecutable offense. Why anyone would even think of sending samples of any sort of pathogen to Lebanon is beyond belief. And Mexico, well, it's bad enough that a number of illegal Mexican immigrants are bringing the TB bacillus with them onto our soil...

#3 Shouldn't such and act of stupidity (mailing them out) be grounds for instant extreme prejudice of all the very dangerous morons involved as they are a menace to all living mammals?
