Query: What is ricin derived from and what is considered a trace amount? Were the trace amounts found in the baby food jars lethal? The reason I ask is because I doubt that AQ would use anything less than lethal amounts of the stuff. Also is there evidence that the jars were tampered with, which would suggest that the contamination occurred after the babyfood left the factory.

Sure I'll start one. What the URL and source & all?

Geez, so much for being "too quiet" - the pace is suddenly quickening . . .

Here's a link to info about ricin.

A drop of it on a pin head would kill a baby.

How do you start a breaking thread?

Thank you.

I agree with the radio program 100%. The last time I was back home in central Illinois I was amazed at how many ME's has moved to the area. Many new, small town clinics have sprung up and practically all of the doctors in them are ME.

It's frightening.

Ricin is derived from the Castor bean. It's readily accessable. And only a very small amount is deadly. AQ's training manuals have greatly detailed Ricin's manufacture and methods of use.

Both links are about the Palm Beach port incident.

Boy, I wonder what the note said in the baby food jar???

[KylaStarr]

Adding to that... there are a lot of castor bean plants out here in SoCal. Very very accessible.

I think you can click somewhere on "breaking", but I'm not the one to ask. LOL!

Posted under Breaking news. Hopefully we can get more info on this.

You'd think at *some* point this would anger the muslim nations...

[Velveeta]

I was hoping for a thread on the Palm Beach evacuation. Thanks though!

[Velveeta]

Thank you!

[appalachian_dweller]

Outside of wise cracks, we may not get any more info, but it's worth a try.

ghostship you need to post these over at ATS. They can figure it out and then let us know.
