Montana Postal Facility Gets Anthrax Detector

The U.S. Postal Service mail-processing facility in Billings, Mont., last week began scanning mail with a system that can detect anthrax, the Billings Gazette reported (see GSN, Sept. 22).

Billings Postmaster Dennis Kautz said the facility is the only mail-processing site in Montana expected to receive the Biohazard Detection System.   The Billings facility handles about 40 percent of Montana mail (Lorna Thackeray, Billings Gazette, Sept. 28).
