Four lab workers in the United States and up to 22 overseas have been put in post-exposure treatment after the U.S. military inadvertently shipped live anthrax samples via FedEx, a defense official told CNN.
CNN learned on Wednesday that a Maryland-based lab had received live samples, prompting an across-the-board urgent review to see whether any other live anthrax has been shipped.
The live anthrax samples were sent via FedEx, according to a Defense Department official. The shipments, thought to be dead, were shipped under less rigorous conditions than the live agent protocol.

Labs in Texas, Wisconsin, Delaware, New Jersey, Tennessee, New York, California, Virginia, and the Osan air base in South Korea were also shipped anthrax. Awkward!

Same..
People don't realize how often this happens...If you actually read the story, it tells you shite is shipped all the time, they just essentially picked the wrong box on this one...
BR would lose its shite if people knew what traveled down the highways and rails at night..
