It sounds more like "shelter-in place" than a quarantine.

Wasn't it dinner time in Yonkers? What if you swallow it, instead of inhaling?-- then it could be deadly. Worse, what if you lick your fingers, instead of using a napkin?

flown there faster

They can easily have flown it in ----it's probably much easier bringing in something like large quantities of cyanide from Mexico than trying to buy it in the US where suspicions could be aroused.

Why would terrorists attack an apartment building in Yonkers??? Unless, of course, they were mixing something up and had an "accident." Still, it seems a little out of line. Could it be perhaps some kind of industrial leak from a factory around there?
