i haven't read what the blogs have written about this yet, i'm sure others have posted on this, but how does it make sense to send a poison through the mail that is only harmful if injected or swallowed? does tom delay shoot up the contents of all incoming mail?
i'm not trying to say that they are overreaction, obviously anytime a poison is sent to members of congress it is a big deal; they are right to close down the building, etc. but it seems to me that the sender either does not understand how ricin works or is simply sending it to get people to freak out. it doesn't look like a serious attempt to hurt or kill people.
