Ricin Letters and Suspicious Mail Procedures

The hosts dismiss the threat of ricin-laced letters sent to Senator Roger Wicker as a "rogue operation" or a distraction. They mock the media's focus on the lack of a return address as "suspicious," noting that ricin is an inefficient weapon for mail-based attacks. They suggest the concept was popularized by the television show Breaking Bad.
