Well, it seems to have been quite a while now – but we are back to “white powder” scares with the L.A. Times office getting one about an hour ago. It was found a little after 7.30pm – so there were not that many people around, and only a few people had to be evacuated.
I wasn’t really expecting this sort of thing to pick up until all the war stuff had started to die down again, I mean – our attention is focussed on North Korea, Iraq and a little back on Afghanistan now – can we handle our attention being split back to domestic (for U.S. inhabitents atleast) attacks?
There is no confirmation at the moment as to the powder really being anthrax or some other biological agent, and I hope that it isn’t. I suppose this comes just at a time when most people were starting to feel safe about their mail again.
