"New Haven, Connecticut: Two people who sprinkled flour in a parking lot to mark a trail for their offbeat running club inadvertently caused a bioterrorism scare and now face a felony charge. The sprinkled powder forced hundreds to evacuate an IKEA furniture store Thursday... Police fielded a call just before 5 p.m. that someone was sprinkling powder on the ground. The store was evacuated and remained closed the rest of the night. The incident prompted a massive response from police in New Haven and surrounding towns."

It is the continuous fear-mongering and the idiotic over-reaction by the minions of State Security that "forced" the pointless evacuation and the subsequent felony arrest of the joggers, not the harmless powder. Why the big fuss? After all, hasn't New Haven been subject to the hijinks of the Yale fraternities for over a century? One could argue that the ongoing terrorization ("to dominate or coerce by intimidation") of the entire population -- as this incident exemplifies -- is itself a long-running Skull and Bones prank.
