no, i was referring to, for example, san francisco in the 1950s.

the anthrax stuff just after 9/11 was just hype, upping the ante,
whipping up as much hysteria as possible as quickly as possible.
impossible to tell whether the few actual cases of anthrax being sent
were part of the hysteria program or just nutcases enthusiastically
jumping on the bandwagon. could be either. works just as well, either
way.

   "Germ-Warfare Tests Gone Awry In Spotlight

    Researchers look at a time when the Army sprayed what it thought was
    harmless on San Francisco and other cities.

    SAN FRANCISCO -- Fifty-one years ago, Edward Nevin checked into a
    San Francisco hospital, complaining of chills, fever and general
    malaise. Three weeks later, the 75-year-old retired pipe fitter
    was dead, the victim of what doctors said was an infection of the
    bacterium Serratia marcescens.

Deliberate provocation of mystical experience, particularly by LSD and
related hallucinogens, in contrast to spontaneous visionary experiences,
entails dangers that must not be underestimated.  Practitioners must take
into account the peculiar effects of these substances, namely their ability
to influence our consciousness, the innermost essence of our being.  The
history of LSD to date amply demonstrates the catastrophic consequences that
can ensue when its profound effect is misjudged and the substance is mistaken
for a pleasure drug.  Special internal and external advance preparations
are required; with them, an LSD experiment can become a meaningful experience.
