Ricin Is Said to Have Been Sent to White House
Source: New York Times
WASHINGTON — An envelope addressed to the White House contained a substance that federal investigators identified as the lethal substance ricin, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the inquiry. It is unclear when the envelope was intercepted before it reached the White House mail room, but investigators believe that it was sent from Canada, according to the official.
Federal investigators are working to track down who sent it and determine whether other envelopes have been sent through the postal system. Ricin, which is part of the waste produced when castor oil is made, has no known antidote.The White House could not be immediately reached for comment.
In 2011, four Georgia men were arrested and later sentenced to prison for plotting to spread the toxin simultaneously in five American cities, targeting federal and state officials. That same year, American counterterrorism officials said they were increasingly tracking the possibility that Al Qaeda would use ricin in attacks against the United States.
Two years later, a Mississippi man sent letters containing ricin to President Barack Obama and a Republican senator in an attempt to frame a rival. The letters were intercepted at sorting facilities.

(CNN) A package containing the poison ricin and addressed to President Donald Trump was intercepted by law enforcement earlier this week, according to two law enforcement officials. Two tests were done to confirm the presence of ricin. All mail for the White House is sorted and screened at an offsite facility before reaching the White House. The FBI and Secret Service are investigating the matter.
Ricin is a highly toxic compound extracted from castor beans that has been used in terror plots. It can be used in powder, pellet, mist or acid form. If ingested, it causes nausea, vomiting and internal bleeding of the stomach and intestines, followed by failure of the liver, spleen and kidneys, and death by collapse of the circulatory system.
CNN has reached out to the White House and Secret Service for comment.

mail service up there does not have defections machines for this stuff..............well again I got a bridge............
a cheeseberder!
That's about the only re-election ruse Trump hasn't used yet, so get ready Canada, the full fury of Donald Trump is on the way! 
and how it badly impacted several post offices in NJ and I think FL. Ever since then, there have been all sorts of screening processes and procedures put in place, both at the post offices and in the mail rooms at all federal buildings (and particularly at the White House and in Congress) during the subsequent almost 20 years.
And you might also recall this guy and his mail bombs just 2 years ago (feels like forever
