White Powder Scare In Downtown Seattle
POSTED: 12:10 p.m. PST March 19, 2003
UPDATED: 1:16 p.m. PST March 19, 2003
SEATTLE -- A hazardous material scare in downtown Seattle is over.
Fire department spokeswoman Sue Stangl says a suspicious powder is not hazardous.
Police spokesman Scott Moss says an officer saw a man sprinkling orange dust as he crossed Fourth Avenue.
Police arrested the man and called in the fire department HazMat team before noon.
Downtown streets near Fourth and Pike were closed for about an hour while the team investigated.
On Monday, police and firefighters responded to reports of an unidentified white powder at seven different locations around the city -- six of them in West Seattle -- causing the evacuation of dozens from a post office at one site.
All of the instances on Monday were determined to be hoaxes or false Alarms, fire officials said.

Orange dust would be Tang. White powder is creamer. We been over this and over this. I can see it now, "Seattle man arrested in laundry mat for puting mysterious powder in washer".

The powder was seen falling into the lap of a police officer in a Duncan Donut shop. Officer said' "In the future, I'll stick to jelly-filled!"

Ya know, looking at the time of the update on the article, I thought that's what might have happened. You did good, anyway.

Anyone who fakes a terror attack at a time like this should certainly be prosecuted. It distracts law enforcement from the real threats.

What a wonderful name you have for this thread. This has actually gone on now for about 1 week or week and 1/2. Lefties stirring the chaos pot as promised... I hope they are convicted and put behind bars!

just standard boilerplate language on many articles
it requires in depth knowledge of arcane case law to understand
in a nutshell meaning - no "commercial" usage
which is why FR has to remain not-for-profit to exist
