The Republican National Committee’s Washington headquarters has been briefly evacuated as police investigated two vials of blood addressed to ex-President Donald Trump following his takeover of the national party apparatus.
I just don’t see how closed vials could threaten the lives of anyone, much less an entire building. It’s not a loose powder or something. It probably was a threat, but those are common these days. They wouldn’t evacuate if it was a letter with some generic “gonna kill you” threat written on it.
actually, most protocols say you do.
Because that one time it is a real threat, people die if you don’t.
Again, it’s not just the closed vials. it’s possibly whatever is under them. It’s possibly what else was left in the building. You might not dump for a threatening letter sent, but you would dump for a letter that was on top of a heavy box. It’s a suspicious package. you treat it like a suspicious package until you know it’s not.
They must not pay much attention to most protocols, because I seem to remember lots of threats flying around the past couple years with no mention of big evacuations.
