OK, picture this scenario: The Anthrax scare escalates. Lots o’ people die from Anthrax and/or some other biological weapon. Nevertheless, the US prevails, we get everything hunkey-dorey again, at least temporarily.
The possibility of future attack still exist, though. How does the US and other countries protect their citizens against such things as Anthrax-in-the-mail, or Smallpox sprinkled in a meat packing plant, or other such attacks? Mass vaccines? Safer vaccines? Poison sniffers ala “Dune”?
