Ricin envelopes



I hope they're not saying that a return address that actually belongs to that sailor is what they're basing their suspicions on.  If you were sending ricin through the mail, would you put your own return address on the envelope, or would you put a random address?

Or, maybe they're looking at someone who really hates that sailor.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:
The FBI has arrested a man in connection with sending letters containing a suspicious substance to the Pentagon and White House, the Utah U.S. Attorney’s Office confirmed on Wednesday.

The suspect has been identified as William Clyde Allen III, of Logan, Utah, said attorney’s office spokeswoman Melodie Rydalch. Charges against Allen are expected to be filed on Friday.

The Pentagon received two envelopes addressed to Defense Secretary James Mattis and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson on Monday. The envelopes initially tested positive for castor seeds, which is used to make a poison known as ricin, according to the Defense Department. Neither men were exposed to the substance.

Officials in the Defense and Justice Departments have declined to say whether the substance in the letters was toxic. It was also unclear on Wednesday whether there was enough of the substance in the letters to make people sick.

  Task and Purpose
So, not a Muslim or a Mexican then?
