Fremont, CA -- A California company is launching a gizmo that could help mail room employees safely open packages that may contain anthrax spores.

The so-called "SafeSorter" is a bread box-sized airtight container with two glove-covered holes on the side. Users are supposed to place a suspicious package inside the box and then open it by slipping their hands into the glove-covered holes on the side.

A spokesman for Bliss Industries admits the SafeSorter can't guarantee a user won't be exposed to anthrax, but it can reduce the chances.

The $300 box is being marketed to business mail rooms, but the company will also sell it to individuals to open mail at home.
