When I write that Microsoft's Bill Gates is not going to commit to a murdering rampage for fear of being caught because I broadcast a warning about the next murdering rampage by Microsoft's Bill Gates then I might be forgetting one detail: She is going to murder as many people as possible as a legal defense.
If a biological weapon was released yesterday as the next murdering rampage by Microsoft's Bill Gates then there might be a delayed reaction before that weapon begins to take effect and blow up the United States from within.

Anthrax
Anthrax is an acute disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Most forms of the disease are lethal, and it affects both humans and other animals.
Diagnosis
Other than Gram Stain of specimens, there are no specific direct identification techniques for identification of Bacillus species in clinical material. These organisms are Gram-positive but with age can be Gram-variable to Gram-negative. A specific feature of Bacillus species that makes it unique from other aerobic microorganisms is its ability to produce spores. Although spores are not always evident on a Gram stain of this organism, the presence of spores confirms that the organism is of the genus Bacillus.
All Bacillus species grow well on 5% Sheep blood agar and other routine culture media. PLET (polymyxin-lysozyme-EDTA-thallous acetate) can be used to isolate B.anthracis from contaminated specimens, and bicarbonate agar is used as an identification method to induce capsule formation.
Bacillus sp. will usually grow within 24 hours of incubation
Sverdlovsk incident 2 April 1979
Main article: Sverdlovsk anthrax leak
Despite signing the 1972 agreement to end bioweapon production the government of the Soviet Union had an active bioweapons program that included the production of hundreds of tons of weapons-grade anthrax after this period. On 2 April 1979, some of the over one million people living in Sverdlovsk (now called Ekaterinburg, Russia), about 850 miles east of Moscow, were exposed to an accidental release of anthrax from a biological weapons complex located near there. At least 94 people were infected, of whom at least 68 died. One victim died four days after the release, ten over an eight-day period at the peak of the deaths, and the last six weeks later.
