“Finding and disposing of the toxin is not particularly hazardous if one wears gloves and does not aerosolize the material”
I guess that will be the big question in this story...WAS IT AEROSOLIZED?
How long will it take the officials to find out?
Extraction of ricin is simple. Weaponizing it for aerosol use is quite complex and most jackass mass murderers would not have the capability or equipment required. Then again, the anthrax released back on 2001 was weaponized by somebody with requisite knowledge and equipment. If this stuff is weaponized, then we must think Islamofascists are present and accounted for. The big question—will Hussein Obama get the blame?
Just reading and hearing fox, I understand that the material was found in a “vial”. Could be a test tube or pill bottle. That would mean “no it wasn’t aerosolized”. Just in a powder form.
I’m usually one that will quickly throw down a “Pay attention this might be terrorism flag”.
In this case, there is nothing to say IT IS NOT TERRORISM.
(Yeah, yeah, can’t prove a negative, blah blah...)
So.. what I’m saying here is that while people have pretty flowers which grown caster beans etc, beans that have been processed are not done so for the heck of it.
