For some reason I belong to a forensic science e-mail group and this letter just arrived:

Dear all,
Like probably anywhere else in the world, a lot of people in Belgium have been receiving letters containing some powder of unknown origin the last few days. These letters get a "high risk" treatment : analysis and sterilisation (15 min at 121°C and 2 ato). Up to now, none of the examined letters contained anything hazardous.
I expect those "sick joke"-letters will arrive at our lab to examine them as questioned documents (handwriting, typewriting, DNA, fingerprints, indented writing, and so on ...). Does anyone have any idea and/or experience on how the sterilisation procedure will influence these examinations ?
Thanks,
Gerrit

Even in Belgium! sheeeeeesh!

Yep.
Six miniguns each with a 6,000 rpm cyclic rate
36,000 rounds/minute
1_in_5 tracer: 100 tracer rounds per second.

Football field is 150x300=45,000 sq ft.

Takes about a minute and a half to cover a football field 1 hole / sq. ft.
