Lab Results Back On Suspicious Substance

Friday, September 19, 2008 11:43 AM

Prince George, B.C.- The RCMP lab says the mysterious white substance found in letter to the Barton Insurance drive through site at 20th and Victioria this week, was not hazardous.

The powder alarmed staff who immediately called the fire department which sprang into decontamination mode.

The area was cordoned off, staff and customers who were in the building at the time of the discovery were decontaminated. The Barton insurance drive through office has been closed since the incident on Wednesday.

Now that the lab results confirm the substance was not hazardous, the Barton insurance drive through office has been re-opened to the public for "business as usual."

The RCMP have not released details on what the substance was.

Only the fuzz and the perps know what it is.

Actually, since we as the taxpayers paid for the excellent work of the Fire Department, the RCMP and the Lab work we are 100% entitled to the information as to what the substance is/was.

What's up?

Why would they make the substance public? They withhold that type of info for investigative reasons.
Once they no longer need to keep it a secret they will release it.

Agree with lost, we aren't 'entitled' to that info, nor is it important. Just knowing it wasn't hazardous is enough.

It might have been flour for a recipe.

Flour - the OTHER white powder. :-9

I guess we are not important enough to involve us beyond the glaring *The sky is falling* headlines.

Some people are happy to be treated like mushrooms.

Think like a detective Diplomat.

Diplomat, by the same token, we paid for all the intelligence collected by CSIS, so I suppose we're entitled to see it all, eh? And we pay for the medical system, so I suppose we're entitled to see everybody's medical records? There's plenty of information that we pay for to which, for good reason, we do not have free access.
