[vol_in_ar]

what are the chances, of a bombing in Boston one day and Ricin getting intercepted the next day

 

[Toujours Pret]

FWIW the ricin field test is quite unreliable, lets hold or horses until they check it out at the lab

IIRC, the anthrax mailings were right after 9/11.

Never did catch the perp either.

Doubt it's a copycat. Mail takes awhile to get to the screening room in DC.

Ricin is only deadly if ingested, yes? Not sure how many senators are in the habit of eating their mail :crazy:

Can be if inhaled, too but takes quite a bit iirc.

Wicker has a strong conservative voting record, but Sen. Roger Wicker was among one of 16 Republicrats who voted to end the filibuster of a gun control bill in the Senate. I think this might have something to do with it.

News says the letter is postmarked from Tennessee and they have a suspect.

Maybe it was a halfway sane person that wanted to send a message without too big a risk of actually harming someone. We can only hope.

NSIS, but if so... where is volmav?

 

[Thrasher865]

Ah didn't pay attention to the name. Must be LG, since it's a repub.

 

[VolFan32]

Probably has to do with his vote last week to allow debate on gun legislation. I heard somewhere they recognized the writing and it's someone who writes to many Sens. and Representatives.

Guy's an idiot if he thinks the vote last week was something that takes away gun rights.

There's been an arrest.

CNN is reporting an arrest in the ricin envelope case. The arrest was made in Tupelo MS.
