You just cannot be wrong, is that it?
Jar may well be wrong about this. He may also have a much better BS detector than you do. I wouldn't get to much of your own skin in this when you don't actually know much about what you saw.
Jar is pointing out (guessing I think) some problems with this idea. Until they are answered we don't know who is wrong.
I think that past threads suggest that your BS detector is very weak indeed. You should take that into consideration.
The truth is we don't know enough but if I have to guess I'd say this is BS.
There is some hint that it isn't. I think I've gotten a wee bit closer to the source.

Going from there to the Swinburne U. website leads to a dead end for some reason. There is one paper in their newsletter that talks about early anthrax detection but no more.
I think we need to email Dr. Jones.
