[QUOTE]Originally posted by J_U_ICE: [QB] UDTT .0060 Universal Detection Technology, Warns of the Possibility of an Anthrax Attack Thursday, October 12 2006 7:29 AM, EST LOS ANGELES , Oct. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Universal Detection Technology (OTC Bulletin Board: UDTT) -- In an article called "Security Fears at Anthrax Labs" by Dave Altimari published on October 8th in Courant.com, new risks Associated with huge growth of pathogen research have been analyzed. "There are currently 335 laboratories, from private companies to hospitals to colleges, registered with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to handle deadly biological agents such as anthrax, Ebola, and smallpox, according to CDC records. Of those labs, 245 are registered to work with live anthrax," the article states. While this research is necessary for development and stockpiling of vaccines, a side effect could be more procurement of agents that, if fallen in the wrong hands, can cause widespread casualties in the US. "CDC officials said there are now more than 100 university laboratories using live anthrax. Before the anthrax attacks, experts say, the total number of US labs performing significant research with live anthrax was only a dozen or so," the article continues. The article adds: "Microbiologists and other specialists say the large increase in government grants has led to more labs working with live pathogens, particularly anthrax. 'The huge US investment in biodefense research -- including dozens of new high-security labs and thousands of additional researchers -- has actually made the biosecurity problem worse,' said Jonathan Tucker, a senior fellow at the Monterey Institute Center for Nonproliferation Studies ." "It is very important to make sure that people who have access to this research and those who are permitted to handle live anthrax have no motivation to misbehave and to abuse their authority. Increasing the size of the group of people with access to anthrax and other deadly agents makes it more likely that such a group will include people with extreme political views who might be motivated to use such agents to advance their ideological or personal agendas," said Nima Montazeri, UDTT's Vice President of strategic development. "When researching such sensitive topics, considerable attention has to be paid to keeping the secrecy of the outcome. Today we face a grave danger of an attack on the US and its allies with biological agents. This threat is real and it is here to stay. Through productive and responsible research and use of cutting edge technologies we have the ability to reduce or mitigate the risks," he added.
