Anthrax Cleanup Company Called to Container Ship Fumigation Process Used in Boca Job
Even as BioONE officials wait for the final results of their anthrax-decontamination efforts at the former American Media Inc. building in Boca Raton, government officials called them to clean up another possible hazard.
The U.S. Coast Guard stopped the container ship CSAV Rio Puelo off the New Jersey coast Aug. 1 after someone called in a report that the ship was carrying contaminated lemons. As a precaution, officials from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Coast Guard called in Boca Raton-based BioONE to fumigate five ship containers. BioONE officials spent last week fumigating those containers and finished on Sunday.

Coast Guard Detains Ship on E-Mail Warning of Hazardous Material
By Michelle Charlesworth
(Port Newark-WABC, August 6, 2004) — Investigators are looking into a potential terror scare on the open seas. The feds detained a ship heading to Port Newark after receiving a tip that a harmful biological substance was on board.
As we reported first at noon, the U.S. Department of Agriculture received an anonymous e-mail warning them of "a harmful biological substance" was coming to New York on a ship full of lemons coming from Brazil. There was very specific information in that tip, but officials were elusive when asked, specifically, whether or not it was a terrorist threat.

John Mason was driving to his son's high school football game three years ago in California when a cryptic caller reached his cell phone.
It was a government official, who began quizzing Mason about disinfecting large buildings. He called back three or four times and asked more questions. Finally, a second caller got on the phone and asked Mason to take an overnight flight from Sacramento to Washington, D.C. No one talked about anthrax, but the caller told Mason it was his patriotic duty to make the trip.
