I hope this will be helpful to some of you. If you are having a personal feud with your spouse or professional rival or just somebody who you’re in some weird spy v spy type feud with, I need to tell you something. If you try to frame them for sending a ricin letter to the President, you’re going to get caught.

I mean, what is it with you people? Do you really think that your ricin tradecraft is going to hoodwink the counter-terrorism folks the FBI sends out when the President gets a ricin letter? Really? I buy that you could probably bamboozle your local police department. But the FBI and the Secret Service? That’s not going to work.
