[_pavisea that it would be easy to remove a sample of anthrax
rom USAMRIID, as long as you had access to the Bio-Safety Level-3
(BSL-3) Suites where anthrax was kept. The only ways to get it out
the Suite, however, were through the shower or through the pass
box. The pass box only operates when one side is shut, so the
perpetrator would have to leave the sample in the box while exiting
out through the shower. Normally, the side of the pass box on the
cold side would be closed as well, and when both sides of the box
are shut, the contents are irradiated for decontamination purposes.
Some planning would be involved to avoid irradiating the pass box
while the person exited the Suite.
