FBI Probes 30 Powder-Laced Letters Sent to Banks

Thirty plus letters were mailed to Chase banks in nine cities that were containing a suspicious powder. Authorities said that after some investigation they believed that this threat was a public backlash over the financial crisis of the nation right now. Tests done on the powder were proved to be negative for poisonous or other dangerous toxins. The FBI has been doing all the investigating. The powder is said to be some harmless calcium. Even though the powder is no the real deal, sending this is still a major crime. The nine cities included: Atlanta, Chicago, Columbus, Ohio, Dallas, Denver, Newark, N.J., NYC, Oklahoma City, and Washington. All of the letters appear to be from the same source and began to show up at the banks on Monday.

I find this whole situation kind of crazy. When I first read this I was kind of surprised. I knew that the anthrax ordeal was a huge problem because it is a very dangerous powder. Threatening banks with this powder is a very daring thing to do by whom ever did it. They have a lot of courage and they really stand up for what they believe in but taking it to this level may actually may do more harm than good. Further in the article it says that the threat in the letter waws based on past actions of the bank and that they implied that the opener of the letter was going to die. By doing this act, it is pushing back the solution to our troubled economy because we have to waster our time to try and figure out who on earth did this and why. I really don't understand why people have to go to such extremes to get a point across. They are willing to put other peoples lives in danger just to make thiers better. I don't get it!
