Tragic video shows why it's best to let the experts handle suspicious items.

The video reminds me of a scene I witnessed at a post office in the weeks after the anthrax attacks of 2001. A postal worker finds a package with white dust on the outside. The worker takes the package to his supervisor's office, which is on the other side of the building. The supervisor and several managers look at the package closely. They take turns sniffing the package to see if they can identify the powder. "If this had been an actual emergency" the entire building would have been contaminated and the postal management team would have had to get along without a few of their brightest minds.
