On Terrorism and Reporting Information to Authorities

Beware of Web sites that sell devices "protecting" you against bioterrorism. Such false claims include gas masks that might not work as advertised, ultraviolet lights that are falsely said to protect against anthrax, and dietary supplements falsely said to protect against anthrax or smallpox. The Federal Trade Commission has sent warnings to several Web sites ordering them to stop making such claims.
