Must be what’s left of Michell’s ball gown after Granny Kenya dried to dry it in the microwave after washing it in the Potomac.

This is terrorism, probably domestic terrorism.

NEW YORK, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Several executives at News Corp’s (NWSA.O) Dow Jones & Co headquarters have received envelopes containing white powder, a company spokesman said on Wednesday.

It is unknown how many executives received the envelopes or who they are. It is unknown what the powder was made of.

The envelopes went to executives at Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal newspaper, both based at an office building in lower Manhattan. The Journal’s security staff is investigating the matter, the paper reported on its website on Wednesday.

Can the presence of Bacillus anthracis spores be detected by a characteristic appearance, odor, or taste?
Bacillus anthracis spores do not have a characteristic appearance (e.g., color), smell, or taste. Spores themselves are too small to be seen by the naked eye, but have been mixed with powder to transport them. The U.S. Postal Service advises that individuals be suspicious of letters or packages with any powdery substance on them, regardless of color. (See www.usps.gov/news/2001/press/pr01_1010tips.htm.)

Probably it is a prank. Mailing white powder to some place is a cheap low risk way to cause alarm.
