WASHINGTON Officials are revealing that air sensors on the National Mall detected a possible disease agent last weekend during the Iraq war demonstrations.

Health officials say the sensors showed signs of a low level presence of Tularemia bacterium. Tularemia can be treated with antibiotics and is not contagious.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has alerted state health officials in D-C, Maryland and Virginia. But officials say no one has reported symptoms of the disease, and subsequent air tests have come back negative.

D-C Department of Health Director Doctor Gregg Pane tells W-T-O-P Radio the city was notified just today that a Department of Homeland Security air sensor detected the biohazard. Officials say Tularemia is found naturally in the environment.

Health officials are encouraging doctors to be on alert for any signs of the disease. Symptoms include sudden fever, chills, headaches, joint pain and pneumonia.

This is a scare tactic, no more protests or next time there really will be something in the air. Scumbags.

The funniest thing about these kinds of "attacks" is that they are just TOO convenient to be a coincidence. I mean... it's almost as if a murderer walks up to you bloody handed, and shows you a picture of the person that was killed, and confesses to the murder. Not quite as blatently obvious, but you get the drift...
