Fighting the War at Home

The anthrax attacks have claimed their fourth victim, a 61-year-old New York City woman. This latest case is the most troubling yet, since the woman had no known connection to any of the facilities where anthrax-laced letters were known to have been sent. Her case has raised concerns that anthrax may be more easily spread than authorities first believed. Amidst another general warning of a possible terrorist attack and new anthrax cases surfacing daily, Americans are left wondering: are we losing the war at home? Is there anything that we can really do to shore up homeland security?
