The clowns seemed to have slightly missed the message of “white power." They began yelling, “White Flour! White Flour!” Pulling out bags of flour and throwing it all over each other, they created a hysterical cloud of dust. Needless to say, the spectacle quickly hijacked all the attention from media and bystanders – it may even have distracted some of the haters themselves.

Do not invest in any company making detection systems for white powder in letters. I invested in one back in 2001 during the Anthrax Attacks and it went nowhere.
