ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota State office building that houses state election administrators was evacuated after a suspicious package came in the morning mail. The package had a label from the United States Traitor Elimination Army. There here being no such agency, the sender was in effect anonymous. Inside was a whiter powder. Such packages have been received in recent days by secretaries of state in Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New York and Rhode Island. These packages coincide with the start of early voting in several states, including Minnesota. There have been no reports of injuries or ill effects or that the packages contained hazardous material. The primary concern about white powder dates to 2001 when terrorists sent anthrax anonymously to government offices. Anthrax is deadly if breathed or even touched. It is a preferred bioweapon of Russian spies.
