Anthrax has become known as a biological weapon. It became notable in the news in 2001, due to anthrax scares caused by anthrax found in letters written to several media personalities and politicians, including then-Senate Minority Leader [[Tom Daschle]]. This occurred shortly after [[9/11]]. Twenty-two people developed anthrax infections, and five of them died. Some of the survivors suffer from continuing serious health problems. The strain of anthrax used in the attacks was first developed in a [[U.S. Army]] facility in Fort Detrick, [[Maryland]]. The wife of one of the victims, Robert Stevens, is suing the U.S. government for lax security. She alleges that the anthrax came from the facility at Fort Detrick.

[[Russell Welch]] was an Arkansas State Police criminal investigator assigned to the Mena airport where he monitored air traffic and developed sources of information and methods to determine what drugs were being trafficked into the airport.<ref>https://youtu.be/WroCyLMZNjc</ref> Welch was exposed to military grade anthrax after he opened a letter which released electrostatically charged floating spores in his face, and his life was saved only after prompt diagnosis and treatment by a medical doctor.<ref>https://youtu.be/xo0pudaN97M</ref> Later the doctor's office was burglarized and test results and correspondence with the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta were stolen.
