FBI scientist Douglas Beecher's report says he found NO additive in the Anthrax preparation he tested-only pure spores.

The US Armed Forces Institute of Pathology says they examined the same specimens-and found silica in them.

I believe both were reporting in good faith.

I find that the samples containing silica taste more minty.

http://www.ci.boca-raton.fl.us/parks/Sugarsand.cfm features Sugar Sand Park in Boca Raton. It features "ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE PARK"

This may be the source of the silica that got in the envelopes.

At that site the City of Boca Raton notes: "Sand used for beach nourishment is often dredged from offshore borrow pits, where silty sediment much finer than sand normally found on beaches and around reefs accumulates."

So, just how fine is that sand?
