2. I hope it’s not TP dust again. There were all kinds of false alarms right after the anthrax incident around 9/11. One involved TP dust.

15. On a serious note, for those who in the Capitol Complex and subscribe to the “CapCom” alerts (primarily for weather, etc.), why didn’t SOS Police or whomever send out a email bulletin to all Complex (or even all Springfield) employees informing them of the Capitol’s evacuation and to stay away from the building until the all-clear is given?

    I work in the complex and I didn’t know what was going on until on break after 3, probably after the all-clear was given, IIRC.
