CYANIDE SENT TO WHITE HOUSE

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/03/17/cyanide-sent-white-house/

An envelope sent to the White House Mail Facility on Monday tested positive for cyanide, according to an internal law enforcement document obtained by The Intercept.

The envelope listed a return address for a man who the alert says has a record with the Secret Service dating back to 1995, which includes sending a package covered in urine and feces.

That person has sent multiple packages over the years, the most recent was received on June 12, 2012, which contained mini alcoholic beverages.

“An envelope containing an unknown milky substance, in a container wrapped in a plastic bag, received at the White House Mail Screening Facility, tested positive for Cyanide,” the alert states.

One of my cousins is a DEA agent stationed abroad in SE Asia and once told me that something like 8% of mules are caught because they Google "How to smuggle heroin into the US."

It's nice that our fantastic mental health system got him the help he needed in 1995 when he sent out an obvious cry for help by sending bodily waste through the mail.

None of this stuff ever makes its way to the intended recipient and innocent people are the only ones who can get harmed by things like this. It infuriates me whenever people send harmful things through the mail.

He didn't mean to send it to the White House, he meant to send it to some one else he was upset with.
