            It’s a tiny bag of coke in the most frequented spot. Let them look into it and if they need to fire someone they will. Are your panties really that bunched up over a dime bag of coke? lol you need to relax my man. Other guy was right, almost everything is more important than this.

    Maybe a dumb question, but why would this warrant an evacuation? I get that it’s contraband, but it’s drugs, not a weapon. Unless they thought since one disallowed thing made it’s way in that there could be other stuff (weapons) as well?

    Edit: or maybe they thought it could be anthrax at first, which makes much more sense as to why they would evacuate

      A lot of chemicals are white powders, including stuff like anthrax. When you find an unidentified white powder, especially in a place like the White House, you should always assume the worst until you can get it identified.

      Maybe it’s just because I’m an American that remembers 9/11 and the anthrax scares that came soon after, but I completely understood the evacuation because of a “mysterious white powder”.

    If this had happened in China this would be at 300 upvotes and people would be name-calling Chinese officials for the end of eternity.

    But it’s in America so OK, drug addicts are common there, nothing to see here.
