The competition is making them better. They don't like it. They would like to say, 'Hey, I'm the guy, I'm the star.' And you want that. You want a guy in there that wants to be the guy. But it's making them compete, whether they like it or not. |

The concern is that unless the company makes its intentions clear, the closure of the service will be a self-fulfilling prophecy as people will not want to book in the traditionally busy pre-Christmas period, thereby exacerbating the situation. |
The concern is they either have on hand -- or could quickly re-create the capability to produce -- vast amounts of anthrax, tons of material, compared with the several grams of material that literally shut down the U.S. postal system last year, |
