Envelopes with white powder found in Northeast
Someone is sending the FBI on wild goose chases in the District of Columbia this week, according to DC’s Fox5;
Officers responded to the Amidon Bowen Elementary School on I Street in the southwest shortly before 10:00 a.m. where they say a letter containing white powder was found. Student and staff were evacuated. Officers say the powder was not hazardous. Students were allowed back in the building shortly after 11:00 a.m.
Investigators responded to a second incident around 11:00 a.m. at the Bibiana Restaurant on 12th & H Street in the northwest for a similar suspicious incident. Police say an envelope with white powder was discovered at the location.
Since Monday, officials say six similar incidents were being investigated by the FBI.
The FBI reports that there’s been no hazardous material found in any of the envelopes yet.
The Hartford Courant is reporting someone is mailing envelopes to at least 3 local schools in Connecticut, too, as well as other schools in Rhode Island.
Someone’s got too much time on their hands. Or it’s another test.

Someone get Gordy’s take on this, because I haven’t heard the phrase “false flag” in a couple days.
I say refer it to USACID….At least they’ll get to the bottom of the envelope. You know, there are far more civilians working there than military. *rim shot*
I remember back in 2001, there was a woman out here who panicked at a donut shop when she saw “white powder” on one of the tables.
Yes, it was freakin’ powdered sugar.
