Okay, so small traces of the deadly poison Ricin was recently found in a Sin City hotel but authorities claim it wasn't terrorist-related. Ha!! Here's the scenario: A terrorist cell holes away at some obscure Vegas hotel - not a dump, but not a strip resort either. In this case, the Extended Stay America. The group takes in the town, visits strip clubs and enjoy all the fruits of our freedom and democracy all the while mocking us. They videotape certain patterns, learn how things operate and the when the least expects it, hits hard with something unbelievable like a Ricin attack somewhere contained and confined perhaps on something like the Las Vegas monorail. It would kill the gaming and tourism industry single-handedly and bring the town back to its shit-kicking, tumbleweed roots. not terrorism-related... HA!
Here's the story via Reuters:
LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Ricin, a deadly poison, was discovered in a hotel room in Las Vegas but is not thought to be terrorism related, police and FBI officials said on Friday.
A Las Vegas police spokeswoman said officers were called to an Extended Stay America Hotel on Thursday after a suspicious substance was reported in one of the rooms.
Preliminary tests indicated the substance was ricin, which can be deadly even in small quantities. Results from further tests were expected later on Friday.
Homeland Security and the FBI are investigating along with the Las Vegas police. "This event does not appear to be terrorism related," FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said in a statement.
Three police officers, three hotel employees and another person were taken to the hospital for testing and observation on Thursday but were released on Friday in good health, police said.
Ricin is made from castor beans and in proper doses can be used for cancer treatments. It attacks cells, preventing them from making necessary proteins, and an amount the size of a grain of salt can be deadly.
