    And don't forget this little tidbit -

    From the Washington Post article you mentioned:

    "The lyopholizer Ivins used in the fall of 2001 is commonly employed by pharmaceutical companies and laboratories, as well as food processors, to freeze a liquid broth of bacteria and quickly transform it into a dry solid without a thawing stage."

    So doesn't that mean that whoever made the Anthrax could have picked up the dryer from an industrial food-service supply outlet? Not exactly a uncommon devoce, apparently.

    Nice work, GG.
