For those of you who wrote in wondering why the WashingtonPostbuilding was loaded with terrorism cops and Hazmat guys early this afternoon, it was an anthrax scare in the mailroom. I wanted to let you know that we received a suspicious piece of mail this morning, and you may see the Fire Department responding here at the Northwest Building. An envelope containing a small amount of white powder was opened in the secure portion of the 4th floor News mailroom. The person who opened it immediately called Security. Security then placed the envelope in a ventilation hood and reported it to the FBI, who asked us to call the DC Fire Department. As you may recall the mail opening room has a specially designed ventilation system that is separate from the rest of the building system. We'll keep you informed.
