Letter With Poisonous Ricin Sent To Obama by tejpot(m): 4:32pm On Apr 17, 2013
US Secret. Service says a letter addressed to President Obama containing a suspicious substance has been intercepted at a Postal Screening centre in Maryland.

A letter is intercepted at a remote facility a day after another letter sent to a US senator is confirmed to contain ricin.
A letter with a "suspicious substance" has been sent to President Barack Obama, says the US Secret Service.

Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan says the letter was intercepted at a facility away from the White House. He says the letter was received Tuesday.

The development comes a day after lawmakers said a separate letter was mailed to a US senator that tested positive for poisonous ricin. Another senator said police have a suspect in mind.

Tensions have been high in Washington and across the US since the deadly bombings on Monday at the Boston Marathon that killed three people and injured more than 170.

Can this be an eye on the US again by terrorists? Or has the US gone to sleep in terror fight. Or as the conspiracists believe, a self inflicted action against US citizens? What's happening?

for those who don't know how lethal ricin is:

Ricinus communis, is a highly toxic, naturally occurring protein. A dose as small as a few grains of table salt can kill an adult human. The LD50 of ricin is around 22 micrograms per kilogram (1.78 mg for an average adult, around 1⁄228 of a standard aspirin tablet/0.4 g gross) in humans if exposure is from injection or inhalation. Oral exposure to ricin is far less toxic and a lethal dose can be up to 20–30 milligrams per kilogram.

Terrorists act at ur weak points, so intercepting it is not the question. The recent Boston bombings are examples. couldn't they have intercepted those those two explosions?

LD50 means the dosage at which 50% mortality is recorded of any toxin at that route of exposure e.g. Inhalation.
