If you work somewhere that might be at somewhat of a risk for being on the receiving end of an anthrax attack, having a detector around to make sure you don't stiff in any dangerous white powder might make your workplace a touch less stressful. This new Veritide bacterial spore detector will make determining if that white powder you have all over your face is sugar from a donut or a biological weapon a snap. About the size of a coffee cup, the device is simple enough for even the dullest of mailroom clerks to operate. The manufacturer is currently looking for interested buyers, mostly government agencies and high-risk companies, and hopes to have the Veritide protecting our news anchors early next year. There's no price available for an individual unit, but if you're just convinced that the terrorists are going to try to kill you via a personally addressed anthrax letter I'm sure Veritide would be more than happy to take your money for one of these things, so go ahead and get in touch with them. — Adam Frucci
