Anyone Hear?

On the news yesterday they were making a very big deal about two planes that flew in from Japan (They landed in Oregon and California, if I remember correctly). Each plane carried a man who was believed to be an Anthrax courier and the authorities seized each of them from the plane to interrogate. They went as far as to keep the other passengers on the plane for quite a while and kept the plane in a separate area.

Today I can't find a mention of it anywhere. I suspected it to be a false alarm, but they usually come out and say "oops, forget all that". I find it more disconcerting there is no mention of the incident at all. Has anyone heard anything?

Thanks Erik! I'm going to have to add Yahoo to my daily reading. I guess they are good for something other than mail and maps

As usual, I'd hope for more specifics. Unable to say whether or not the suspects were detained? That is a rather frightening prospect.

Here's the Seattle Times take on the story with a few more details.
