Whoa.

Either this article is over-reporting this, or else “bump”.

Whom was it being mailed to and what caused them to open it?

Lots of insecticides can cause false alarms for nerve gas.

Maybe it was just standard NYC air. The damned place stinks on a good day!

More specifics are needed. Is this an inadvertent release of an organophosphate insecticide or a nerve gas intended to affect humans adversely?

Alana Horowitz, Senior editor @HuffingtonPost tweets: Just got off the phone with FDNY. Said it wasn’t nerve gas that was in JFK packages, and the postal workers refused medical attention.

If it was serious nerve gas, they wouldn’t be sick, they’d be dead. I smell hype.

So the admin is doing its WMD smuggling via the USPS now?

Probably cheaper than using ambassadors...

I thought the new definition of WMD was cookware.
