[Vision2020] Letter to Obama Positive for Ricin

[Paul Rumelhart]

"Capitol Police were checking out reports of suspicious packages or 
letters in two Senate office buildings around noon Wednesday. The first 
floor of the Hart Senate Office Building was evacuated shortly before 
noon, and police were questioning a man with a backpack in the area.

The man raised suspicion with the content of his backpack and how he 
responded to police questions, two Capitol Hill police officers said. 
The backpack contained sealed envelopes and was being x-rayed, one of 
the officers said.

A federal law enforcement official told CNN that authorities do not 
believe the man was connected to the letters found Tuesday."

I wonder if their suspicions were raised when he asked "do you have a 
warrant?" or by making statements such as "I don't consent to a 
search".  I don't know that he did that, but I'll be interested in 
hearing his side of the story.

""Monday's attack in Boston reminded us that terrorism can still strike 
anywhere at any time," Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said 
Wednesday. "And as yesterday's news of an attempt to send ricin to the 
Capitol reminds us, it is as important as ever to take the steps 
necessary to protect Americans from those who would do us harm.""

I can't wait for this shoe to drop.  I wonder what "steps" he has 
planned that they take, and will it involve the loss of liberties for 
U.S. citizens?
