Pixy Stix anyone?

Adequate precaution, or overreaction?

You decide.
SAN ANTONIO - A police substation was evacuated after a scare over a suspicious white powder. It turns out it was just candy.

Hazmat crews were called out to the Prue Road Police Substation on the Northwest Side after a Star Furniture employee brought in the suspicious envelope. It came from one of their vendors.

Police say someone was probably just eating candy when stuffing envelopes during a mass mailing.
(from WOAI-TV)

They were eating powdered candy while stuffing envelopes, and enough accidentally spilled into an envelope to trigger a hazmat scare? I guess it's a good thing they weren't eating bean-and-cheese tacos at the time.
