From the Paper:

"Despite vaulting bounds in medical health, many of us live with a nagging (although not completely irrational) fear of viruses, bacteria, and other nuisances. Since the anthrax hysteria that followed in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy, Americans have been on the alert for signs of bioterrorism. Some fear that the gas curling through our vents contains airborne microbes or that our water reservoirs are teeming with lethal spores. From religious militant to the merely unhinged, people have resorted to violence to wreak havoc - using handguns, bombs, and recently, jetliners."
