2008 in UK saw the launch of a new campaign to increase paranoia and fear of "terrorism".

In 2015 Richard Lambert, the chief FBI investigator in the case, launched legal action against the FBI, alleging legal malpractice.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag In 2015, its chief investigator, Richard Lambert, filed a lawsuit alleging malpractice, claiming amongst other things that the FBI suppressed evidence which would have definitely exonerated Ivins.[3][4]
