Or maybe we can just set the conspiracy theories aside and base everything on factual evidence?
LiquorandGunFun said: also where was this outrage when some envelopes with white powder was sent to susan collins for voting for kavenaugh? the doxxing of repubicans who voted for kavenaugh? |
White powder mail is actually a common occurrence, I am dealing with callouts pertaining to those rather frequently.
Not long ago a letter was sent between two prisons here containing a white lilac scented (Turned out to be Talcom) powder here.
So in we go, closed everything off, cleaned everything up, handed samples over to the police... Everyone went home.
But when it happens to someone who is high profile, then there tends to be more of a media circus around it, it's the way the world goes.

You can't please everyone all the time. Trump has and will always be a divisive figure.
Although... He has been extremely entertaining to watch from across the pond.

There are tons of ways for harmful devices to get through domestic mail services, which are generally not scanned unless there's a specific reason. And new ways to circumvent detection are constantly discovered. |
There are also tons of diseases/infections/poisons that are naturally found in the environment all around us that cannot simple be "picked up". - Normally they are harmless due to low concentration levels.
There are tons of ways around the system.
Often it works really well, but generally if something is going to get through it is because there was a series of screw ups in the chain.
