CB....THANKS!! Those are beautiful pics, and especially with the sound effects... The news he heard last night was about 10:30-10:50 PM PDT last night....I looked all over SI and INet for it, and of course nothing, nor today. My guess it was pulled...either was nothing, or because no panic needed/wanted until tests.... Hopefully, it was just a false report. I can well imagine that 40 blocks of off limits in DC will be messy....I've been there for the NATO 50th anniversary, the IMF/World Bank meetings, the Oklahoma bombing, etc....(have been there in April for several years...), and the security was TIGHT then....I can WELL imagine it is TIGHT now!!! Do you know how and if the taxi drivers are screened....??? I've been in LOTS of cabs there....and many don't really speak English, and are on cells talking to others in other languages.... Wonder if the FBI and CIA are checking the drivers....wonder if they are all citizens or at least legal immigrants?

Hi CB and Ish....Remember that I asked you about the State Department on Wednesday night....Look at this article (just got it from Drudge) ... Friday October 12 1:48 PM ET Alarm at State Dept After Suspicious Powder Found WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Emergency services were called to the State Department on Friday for the second time in three days when a suspicious white powder was found in a correspondence office, spokesman Richard Boucher said. ``We found another white powdery substance in a correspondence office and the FBI and the fire department and the hazardous materials unit have been called in,'' Boucher told a regular news conference. An announcement read out over the building's internal communications system said: ``The area of concern has been completely contained at this time.'' It added: ``There is no need for alarm.'' On Wednesday a white powder was found on the floor of a mail room on the State Department's 6th floor. Boucher said it was found to be an inert substance which posed no danger although further tests were still being undertaken. The scares came as Americans were on alert for possible biological or chemical attacks in reprisal for U.S. bombing raids in Afghanistan following the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon.
