Tallahassee Postal Worker Finds Suspicious Powder In Letters
POSTED: 3:34 p.m. EDT July 15, 2003

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- A postal worker found white powder in about 20 letters addressed to politicians around the country early Tuesday, leading firefighters to seal off part of the city's main post office.

The Tallahassee Fire Department said the powder was being tested by the Leon County Health Department to see if the powder was anthrax or another hazardous material was placed in the letters, which were addressed to members of Congress. Test results weren't expected for two or three days, officials said.

9. What do you mean?
That is what it was before...

It can be processed to be a white powder or even to be air born.
