Sixty-four former IDF soldiers are suing the Defense Ministry for NIS 18 million ($4.8 million) over what they claim is damage caused to them during Anthrax vaccine experiments in the early 1990s.
The experiments, which were meant to determine the efficacy of an Anthrax vaccine, were carried out in light of what was then defined at the time as the “strategic threat of a surprise biological attack facing Israel.”
Nicknamed “Omer 2,” the experiments included 716 IDF soldiers picked out of a pool of 4,000.

That’s ieritestnng about people giving up cars and flying. As far as the newfound dislike of flying goes, my own interpretation is that it shows demand destruction (one of the true purposes of “airport security”) is working.
