What the...I can't believe what I got in the mail
So today at work we received a "letter". Joking around my boss says, "Who wants anthrax?" We all chuckled, it was funny given the fact that the envelope looked extremely suspicious. It was postmarked from a town just outside Boston.
The envelope was addressed to my work, but to no one in particular. I of course was interested to see if it was something that I needed to be aware of, completely disgarding the previous comment about anthrax. I opened it very carefully...no powder...phew. Stupid in retrospect, I count myself lucky, however, the contents of it were a bit unsettling.
The envelope contained diagrams of and specifications of the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania. It also contained a page that had a bunch of Fortran code on it. The Fortran code was simply plotting a point or a series of points. Since our business has nothing to do with that sort of code and nothing to do with the nuclear power business we were a bit concerned.
We contacted the local police and an officer came over took my name and contact info since I was the one that opened it and then she left. We really don't think that we'll hear anything about it.
The best part is that I am going to that area of Penn. this weekend to visit my parents. Should be relaxing.
I am seriously freaked out, what should I do? I really think that the local police are just going to sweep this under the rug. It could be nothing, but it could definitely be something. Funny to think that three or four years ago we would have just tossed it in the trash.
