Northeast Austin's main post office has been evacuated after a white substance was found on a sorting machine. The post office evacuation occurred Wednesday evening after a postal employee found the suspicious substance.
Preliminary tests conducted by the fire department showed that the substance contains proteins that can be a sign of biological agents.
More testing is needed to determine whether or not the substance is dangerous.
Crews at the fire department classify the evacuation and testing as weapons of mass destruction response.
Offer to let a guy off death row if he will lick it and tell us what it tastes like.
