Anthrax and TB transported by Fedex is so uncool.
This is a disaster looking for a place to happen.

Truck carrying anthrax involved in crash
Last Updated Wed, 02 Mar 2005 16:58:32 EST
CBC News
WINNIPEG - A Federal Express courier truck carrying a package of anthrax collided with a car in central Winnipeg Wednesday, but officials say the package was not damaged in the crash and the public was never in danger.

North End, Winnipeg, Man.
The truck was carrying five packages for the Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health, the federal virology lab, which contained samples of anthrax, E. coli, salmonella, tuberculosis, influenza and a sexually transmitted disease.

Still a problem, I agree. Why are bio-hazardous materials being transported in non-protected and un-labeled vehicles like these. Good post, thanks.
