Powdery Envelopes Prompt Postal Scares
Powdery Envelopes Prompt Postal Scares
"Three envelopes containing white powder that turned out to be harmless were discovered yesterday at three U.S. Postal facilities in New York -- one in Brooklyn and two in Manhattan -- authorities said."
So this happens from time to time. Can someone tell me who's mailing powder?
"Chemical tests conducted by the New York Police Department and the Department of Environmental Protection determined that the powder found in Brooklyn was coffee creamer, the Morgan center's was Sheetrock dust and the Farley building's appeared to be a 'simple household product,' said Tom Boyle, a postal inspector."
Ok, so now we know what it is, but we don't know how it got in there. When was the last time you mailed something and accidentally got coffee creamer in there? Dumb.
