University of Buffalo art professor Steve Kurtz—the biotech artist who came under federal investigation for bioterrorism after police, responding to Kurtz's 9-1-1 call, found laboratory materials in his home/studio—has officially been charged. He's facing several counts of mail and wire fraud. It turns out that this suspected bioterrorist received organic materials from a Pittsburgh professor by an improper mailing procedure.
Ah. I feel safer. More later but I'm going to enjoy this safety for a while.
