I was browsing freeps and found a post about one of the letters sent to Howard Troxler in Florida. The original article from St. Petersburgh times.St. Petersburgh Times
(from article-you'll have to scroll down a biton the website)
St. Petersburg Times columnist Howard Troxler opened his letter at his desk Tuesday. As he did so, a white powdery substance, resembling sugar or salt, spilled out.
Troxler stopped opening the letter. Authorities were called to the newspaper's offices in downtown St. Petersburg. Police put the envelope in an airtight container and drove it to a state health lab in Tampa for analysis. Firefighters covered Troxler's desk with a plastic sheet and yellow emergency-scene tape reading "caution."
Health officials found no signs of anthrax or bacteria in the powder. The envelope and a letter inside also tested negative.
The letter had no return address and was postmarked St. Petersburg. It bears a code 337, then a space, then 1.
Anything that is mailed in Seminole, Largo, Bay Pines, Gulfport, Pinellas Park or any St. Petersburg neighborhood goes through the main post office on First Avenue N and is stamped with a 337.
The cryptic letter misspelled Troxler's name and had little punctuation. It said:
"Howard Toxler ... 1st case of disease now blow away this dust so you see how the real thing flys. Oklahoma-Ryder Truck! Skyway bridge-18 wheels."
Now considering the talks we've had here about trucks:
Kasota wrote,"
Police have been warned to look out for tanker type trucks near sewer lines, such as where manhole covers are. There is concern that fuel dumped into the system and would then be set on fire. I just got that one from the horse's mouth

and
30,000 trucks...
Plus, we were trying to figure out why the FBI warning page had SKYFALL in the HTML, I think it is worth considering.
According to the members of freep, there is a skyway bridge in Tampa and a Skyway bridge in Chicago. I dont know either of the areas, so anyone here who does, let us know more about these two bridges and how they are significant. THANKS
