Not-DB Cooper's Letter to Trump

In 1978, Bulgarian ambassador, Georgi Markov, was assassinated with a poison-pellet ejected from an umbrella.

In the world of spy-craft,  it was a cunning and diabolical form of assassination.

 

Compare that to what this moron fumbled up:

The return address on the envelope says the sender is “FRS”, presumably the initials for the way the letter was signed off: “Free Rebel Spirit”.

The return address is written as “1050 Lib. Av., S Hub.QC, J3Y 0T6, Canada.”

J3Y 0T6 is a legitimate postal code for St.-Hubert, the Montreal suburb where the RCMP searched an apartment last week, wearing hazmat suits, and where, court was told Monday, officers seized a pestle and mortar that tested positive for ricin.

It is a postal code that includes units of the same apartment property that was searched, although the apartment is on Boulevard Vauquelin. And 1050 is the street number for the apartment complex. ...

The envelope is postmarked in Quebec and bears a stamp showing it was received at the U.S. postal sorting facility on Sept. 17.

The letter did not make it to the White House, where it was addressed to, nor to Trump. Instead, it was examined and found to be suspicious by U.S. Secret Service the next day.

As police were investigating the letter, a woman arrived at the Peace Bridge border crossing between Fort Erie, Ont., and Buffalo, N.Y., on Sept. 20, and told U.S. border guards she was wanted by the FBI for the ricin letters, U.S. authorities said.

Pascale Cécile Véronique Ferrier, 53, of St-Hubert, Que., was arrested on the spot. She had a gun tucked in her waistband and a knife in her pocket, prosecutors allege.

In a backpack, border guards found a semi-automatic handgun loaded with seven rounds of ammunition, a knife and a backpack stuffed with 294 bullets, a stun gun, pepper spray, a collapsible baton and a fake Texas driver’s licence.

Although Ferrier is a dual citizen of Canada and France, where she was born, she had only her Canadian passport with her at the border, court heard.

 

It's like she wanted to get caught.
