DramaThrillerScience Fiction

When cattle mysteriously start dying of anthrax in a small Alberta ranching community, an RCMP officer tries to keep the peace as ranchers lay the blame on a local agricultural research center. A reporter encourages the angry ranchers - led by the Mountie's mother-in-law - to stage a sit-in at the research center. When an eccentric old rancher dies after being exposed to a deadly strain of anthrax, the protesters are quarantined. No one notices that the reporter has disappeared - along with several vials of the deadly bacteria. The RCMP officer begins his own investigation, gleaning information from a U.S. government agent. He finds himself racing against time to recover the stolen anthrax.

    If you need to send an anonymous letter - hopefully for good (say, whistle blowing) and not evil - you can still do so.

    Use a fake return address (duh).

    Drive to a mailbox far away from your work or home. Pick a mailbox that has no security cameras. Don't go into a Post Office, where there will be security cameras.

    Turn off your phone before going anywhere near the drop location.

    (This is all coming from a PBS documentary about how they went about the 2001 anthrax attack investigation.)
