Fast-edit to multiple views of San Francisco streets empty during
daylight, with convoys of military choppers clattering overhead.
The camera moves South-Of-Market, zooming-in on bodies scattered
in gutters, seagulls and pigeons moving by. Ominous music...

She'd just arrived for a medical conference, was to give the vial
to a colleague to take back to his lab to culture the strain. The
real "duuh"-moment comes when we ask why she didn't check her tote
bag [which also contained cash and jewels] into the hotel safe.

But hey, if you WANTED to spread contagion in SF, it'd be a lot
easier just to spray your anthrax aerosol [or whatever] onto the
crowds at Fisherman's Wharf, Pier 39, Ghirardelli Square. Or in
a passenger terminal at SFO [the airport], making sure that your
little "gift" was delivered far and wide.
