Ricin Found In Las Vegas

"LAS VEGAS — Preliminary tests indicate that a package found at a motel contained the toxin ricin, and seven people have been taken to hospitals, authorities said.

"Ricin has no medical uses other than cancer research," police Captain Joseph Lombardo said at a news conference Thursday night. "An individual citizen other than being involved in cancer research or cancer prevention would not have any legal means or proper means of having that."

Investigators did not immediately believe the substance was intended for an attack. "This is not a terror incident at this point," Lombardo said."

So let's see. No "normal person" should have it, it is very deadly, was found in a random ass hotel room in a city that is packed with people ans other than use for cancer it is only used as a terror tool. But it is not considered part of a terrorist plot. Um Kay.
