Buried in a general article about Anthrax on foxnews.com

Wonderful - only 2 hours away now.

In Kansas City, Mo., meanwhile, preliminary tests Wednesday indicated traces of anthrax at a specialized postal facility there, but no employees have become ill and there was no apparent risk to the public, health and postal officials said.

About 170 workers were told to start taking antibiotics to ward off possible infection.

The positive test results came from swabs on two bags of employees' trash in the first-day cancellation section of the Stamp Fulfillment Services Center, which is housed in an underground complex.

The source of the suspected anthrax was thought to be a shipment of mail that arrived at the cancellation section Oct. 19 from the Brentwood postal facility in Washington, D.C., according to manager Gary Stone

I'm afraid they have tossed out tainted mail. I'm also afraid that's been happening in campus mailrooms around here.

Didn't I mention that before?

AMI at least incinerated theirs.

The USPS shreds the paper to recycle.

Yes, Barefoot. I remember. The contract workers from the CDC will be here to test the main PO tomorrow. I think their testing should be much wider in scope.
