| quote: | A letter addressed to President Barack Obama tested positive for the poison ricin and was from the same sender who mailed a letter to a senator that also tested positive, officials told NBC News on Wednesday.
The letter to Obama was received at an off-site White House mail facility and was being tested further, a Secret Service official told NBC News. A federal law enforcement official said that the letter was “very similar” to one addressed to a senator that tested positive in preliminary screening for ricin.
Authorities cleared the atrium of a Senate office building Wednesday, but it was not immediately clear why. Capitol police were also investigating a suspicious package at the office of Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala. Shelby’s staff had not been evacuated. |
IT'S HAPPENING. |

Because my original post was based off of Breaking Bad lol. They made it sound like it had to be ingested, but apparently inhaling it can be deadly too.
On topic, I have a picture of a dude making ricin in his basement lab, but I won't post it online because once I do that it'll cease to be relevant. |

| It appears the "suspicious substance" was not a balanced budget, but sarin toxin instead. |

| if we're talking ricin here it's actually far more dangerous inhaled than ingested |

Yes.
That's why Racist Rusty™ deleted his "He would have to eat the letter" comment. |
