explosions at boston marathon

I'm not trying to be glib here but have any of these poisoned pieces of mail ever worked? I know there have been successful mail bombs but these "poisoned letters" seem like a sure way to get arrested without any meaningful results.

This means they have the suspected bomber. They would not risk him killing himself.

Some much for being imminent, still no arrests have been made.

i believe some people were sickened from some poisoned letters in the past, which is why they do the extra screening now for govt addressed mail-or maybe all mail?

The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two Democratic U.S. Senators, killing five people and infecting 17 others.

I stand corrected. Thank you. I thought a few people became ill but there were no fatalities.

And nobody thought of asking what they had in their backpacks? I guess that would be considered racial profiling

Please don't link to that website from here. I do not want anything with my name on it associated with the vile, inane spew that emanates from it. I eliminated the Politics section from the Forum for a reason.
