WhiteSatin, we didn't hear if the guy was arrested.  When people are fired from the firm, they just disappear (that's not as ominous as it sounds), but you never hear what happened, who it was, were they relocated, fired, arrested, etc.  There have been a bunch of people arrested for this type of thing, so it is very possible that he was dismissed and summarily arrrested.  You would think though, that we would receive some sort of communication about what we are supposed to do.  We get TONS of mail each day and have people sorting through this.  A lot of it is angry mail too - on a regular basis these people are scared.



I agree that perhaps the media is jumping the gun on this - they feel they need to report something, and if there isn't anything new to report, then just keep re-hashing the same thing.



However, I think companies that are susceptible to this kind of attact need to better prepare their people.  Sure, I printed the CDC thing and now I know what to do, what if the woman next to me gets a suspicious letter and freaks out?  We have fire drills in case there is an emergency and we are all mature enough to know that the building isn't actually on fire and we learn what to do in case of a real emergency - why can't we be informed of what to do in this type of emergency without causing a panic?
