Summary

Description
English: Image of an anthrax hoax in Rhode Island. "DEM emergency responders placed a suspicious letter in a "glove bag" for inspection and testing. Samples drawn with an injected probe showed that that white powder on the letter did not, as feared, contain biological agents such as anthrax. The whole episode may have started out as a practical joke, but it turned into a frightening, costly hoax."
