WEEKEND EDITION: THE LAGUARDIA ANTHRAX INCIDENT
March 23.� Reuters is reporting an incident that occurred on Friday at New York's LaGuardia airport.� While flight bags were being screened at check-in for Flight 721, a bag was discovered that contained a gas mask and a cylinder filled with a white powder.
Other news sources say a few people were sickened, none were sickened, a check-in employee had a red rash, etc.� The sample did test positive for anthrax, it didn't test positive, it hasn't been tested yet, etc. Garble.
The most unusual part of the Reuters piece was, the passenger flew unimpeded to Dallas-Fort Worth.
How?� Presumably, the bag was on its way to being loaded on that flight when it was stopped.� So why wasn't the flight delayed?� Why wasn't the passenger taken off the plane or out of the gate-boarding area?
An airport spokesperson said "it wasn't that unusual" for a passenger to fly without his bag.
Huh?� That makes no sense.� The bag was being checked through without the passenger present.� It wasn't, according to Reuters, a carry-on bag.� How would the passenger know that the bag had been stopped?� The passenger was sitting at the gate, waiting to board the plane.
Supposedly, the passenger was to be met in Dallas by FBI agents.� But I have seen no follow-up on that.
Smells fishy.� Was this one of those scare-the-public-over-nothing stories?� Will that passenger disappear into thin air?��

WEEKEND EDITION: UPDATE ON THE LAGUARDIA-ANTHRAX INCIDENT
March 22.�
After posting this story earlier today, I discovered even more contradictions in the press reports.
The cylinder of white powder was found in the woman passenger's handbag.� No it wasn't, it was found in her luggage.
Handbag may have been changed to luggage, because it would be completely absurd to imagine that the passenger's handbag was confiscated and THEN she was permitted to fly on to Dallas from LaGuardia.� And she DID, in fact, fly on to Dallas.
Also, apparently, the first press reports listed this passenger as an Israeli woman who had come into LaGuardia from Israel, on her way to Dallas.� Then this was dropped out of later press versions.� Why?� Because one is supposed to avoid casting aspersions on Israelis?� Will we later see the woman re-named as the first cousin of Saddam bin Laden?
This whole LaGuardia business is looking more and more like a little fear op that was supposed to create hatred against Arabs, but backfired.
But with the multiple and varying press reports, it becomes a garble of strangeness that, for all I know, could have involved a passenger carrying a box of tooth powder.� Or high explosives.� Or the ashes of a diseased relative who wanted his final resting place to be a football field in Dallas.��
