“Whoever perpetrated the first crime must realize that we have the capability to identify material and to track the material back to its source. Whoever did this is presumably aware of what’s going on, and if the person is a scientist, they can read the study. Hopefully, the person is out there thinking: When am I going to get caught?” -- Paul Keim (Edward R. Winstead, "Three Years After the Anthrax Letters, Are We Safer?"

“There were no more than ten labs in the nation working with the organism, and now it’s about 310—and they all want virulent strains. In the old days virtually everyone was paid by Department of Defense to do their research because that’s the only place where money came from because the organism wasn’t thought to be of economic importance. Now that it’s a bioterrorist threat and money’s available for research, experts have come out of the walls. The whole damn thing is bizarre.” Martin Hugh-Jones (Edward R. Winstead, "Three Years After the Anthrax Letters, Are We Safer?" Genome News Network, September 17, 2004)
