With respect to bioterrorism, how likely is it that a bioterrorist will successfully release a deadly pathogen?

It’s a pretty big threat. There have been a few attempts, but they’ve all been foiled. A few years ago, there was a small outbreak of anthrax in the USA, and it was discovered by a young girl who had become infected after she had handled a letter containing the deadly bacteria. The girl was treated with antibiotics and recovered.
