In order for anthrax to be useful as a weapon against large numbers of people, it would have to be processed in a way that would allow large numbers of spores to be widely dispersed in the air in particles that would be the proper size to be inhaled and lodge themselves in the lungs. Genetic engineering could also, in theory, make the disease more lethal.
