Several things:

1. The FBI assures us they caught the bad guy.

2. The really good stuff (anthrax) filters right through ordinary envelope paper.

3. It's not necessarily "white" ~

Which probably means that if it's "real", it wasn't prepared by a middle-aged disgrunteld federal employee trained in bacgteriology with access to a major scientific laboratory.

Or, maybe it's something one of Barbara Hatch Rosenberg's friends had left over from the last attack. (Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! ~ Maybe they can get some fingerprints on it.)

Personally, I'd appreciate it if they put precautions in place, rather than taking them...

I was thinking the EXACT thing.

We need to bar Al Franken, Alan Colmes, and Air America.

Also need to shut down late night television comedians.
