man trying to keep people on topic in here is like herding cats.
how are these packages not being post marked whiling making it to their destination?
Really! Popped in to find the "wrong" thread in play. It seems like folks still worry this is going to be a rightwing weirdo ...

Hardly. I keep bringing up the recent "ricin scare" with Trump. William Clyde Allen III, 39, of Logan, Utah, is charged with five counts, including threatening to use a biological toxin, according to a federal complaint filed Oct. 5.

And the shards of castor beans were not "live" unless Trump had both ingested and chewed them. Had he "inhaled," Trump might well have ended up with released ricin in his tummy and not a castor bean plant. And Allen would have been charged with murder 1 instead of a threat to use a biological toxin that really wasn't a biological toxin. Exactly, that is.
Was Allen a leftwing weirdo? Hardly.

He has a history of making threats, according to the federal complaint: In 2015, he sent an email to the CIA threatening to kill then President Barack Obama, if the agency didn’t stop infringing on his constitutional rights; and in February of 2017 he sent an emailed bomb threat to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, an FBI special agent said in the complaint.
It is interesting how slanted news sources are, for sure. The rightwing Washington Times pretty much had the same facts as Nbc news, but left out Allen's prior history of threats against Obama. It managed to drag in some prior sex abuse allegations but nothing about Obama. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news...ld-trump-rici/
Maybe the bomber will also turn out to be an equal opportunity weirdo so everybody can "win" here.
"Bomber" implies that he/she was actually successful and has actually "bombed" places.
A more accurate ticker would read: "URGENT NATIONWIDE MANHUNT FOR FAKE BOMB CREATOR"
Also, I have a bone to pick with CNN and their use of "manhunt" - I am deeply offended at their misogynistic phrasing. I need a safe space away from toxic masculinity of the patriarchy.
