From 'Mercury News': SACRAMENTO — A federal grand jury indicted a Sacramento man Thursday on 13 charges related to a series of anthrax scares across the country that turned out to be hoaxes. Marc Keyser, 66, was indicted on 10 counts of hoax mailings and three counts of mailing threatening communications. He has yet to enter a plea and remains free on $25,000 bond. He was arrested on October 29th after several newspapers, other media outlets, businesses and a congressman received threatening packages in the mail.
Prosecutors say the packages contained a computer disk labeled "Anthrax Shock and Awe Terror" and a packet of a grainy substance with a biohazard symbol and the words "Anthrax sample." In many cases, newspapers reported that the substance turned out to be sugar. According to the federal complaint filed in the case, some of the packages had Keyser's return address and agents found 11 more packets when they searched his car. Reached Thursday at his home, Keyser said he believes the nation has become lax about the threat of terrorism and said the mailings were "an act of conscience."
