FIGHT TERRORISM; WASH YOUR HANDS
It doesn't quite have the same ring as "Loose lips sink ships," but anyone who handles their own mail would be wise to listen to their mother's advice: wash your hands. For the past month, I've tried to be diligent about washing my hands immediately after sorting through my mail. I friend of mine in New Jersey even went so far to buy a plastic tub for her mailman to use as a temporary mail box. She's been soaking everything in bleach before removing it from the bin to dry and enter her house. And now she looks pretty smart. This from AP on the latest anthrax theory: "Tens of thousands of letters mailed around the country could have picked up trace amounts of anthrax while passing through a contaminated Trenton, N.J., postal facility, the nation's top anthrax investigator said Monday."
