Suspicious Package Found at Scott AFB

I can't post a link because I am on my IPod, but it looks like the package was found at the base mail room which is right behind the building where hubby and I work. Three people have been treated and released after handling the package and 13 more are being examined.

I am in Dubai and trying to get ahold of hubby to see what is going on. No joy as of yet. JimP if you hear anything could you let me know?

AFCHIC - no worries. I'm next door and it has fizzled out. looks like three had to go to the Hospital and 13 had to be deconned. No word as of yet what it was. Folks that left their cars in that lot (old theater parking lot) have to leave them there overnight for investigative purposes. I've been getting the alerts all day on the 'puter but haven't seen anyone panicking or freaking out. I'll keep you posted if anything breaks loose - but as it looks now...no big deal.
