Ok, it's getting curiouser and curiouser
Two new powder scares in Elko,NV.
One sent to the school admin offices tested positive for ricin initially, then determined to be harmless to humans. The FBI called in the military. They are still testing.

Powder scare at school district offices: FBI calls in military aid
http://www.elkodaily.com/articles/2004/02/11/news/local/news1.txt Now here's where it get's really wierd. The second story in the same town today (making 3 in the last 2 days in Elko, anyone noticing a pattern here?) Involved a man sending ashes to Geneva, Switzerland. The same city the perfume package in Virginia was addressed to.
In addition, ashes were found at one of the earlier post offices, Wallingford maybe? The one where they called all clear, but then a day later Newsday ran a story that they were still testing.
So, we've got three scares in 3 geographically seperate locations related by two factors. Two that are related by destination address and two that are related by their seemingly harmless contents of grainy ahses.
