Before the day is over the press reports will change to, Error, “testing” indicates the substance was not ricin. Nothing to see here, move along........

“Three motel employees and another person were quarantined and decontaminated at the site, then taken to hospitals for further testing,”

That simple statement hides a very uncomfortable process of being decontaminated.

Of course its better to be stripped naked and hosed down than to die from this poison.

Somebody slipped up here. I didn’t see the required “this is not related to terrorism” statement in the article. Homeland Security’s public relations department must not have been notified.

Reply #11? Thanks for the reference, I'm relieved. I always feel more secure when Homeland Security makes their ritual pronouncements.

In response to your message in the thread that got locked

Yeah, I already had read that this morning.

There’s NO use for ricin other than killing people.

When used in “cancer research” it is a chemically altered state that is used and not directly from a castor bean.

That someone even brings that up as a possibility tells me precisely how ignorant they are, whether is is a newsie, or a cop.

I can PROMISE you there are VERY few COPS that know anything about castor beans and ricin other than the crap they’ve read in the main stream media.

Huh. It sounds like someone checked out. I hope they aren’t headed somewhere with more. Praying for our country.
