Anthrax scare evacuates Sydney Airport
Seems all it just was a scare. <http://www.abc.net.au/news/2001/10/item20011014004641_1.htm> Powder proves harmless after Sydney anthrax scare Authorities have described as harmless a white powder-like substance found at the international terminal of Sydney Airport earlier today. An area near the Qantas check-in service was cordoned off as authorities in protective outfits examined the suspicious substance found on ticket documentation in the Qantas ticket sales office late this afternoon. A Qantas spokeswoman says the white powdery like substance was found on pre-printed documents. The scare comes as United States officials deal with five new cases of exposure to anthrax.
