That powder was later determined to be non-hazardous, but the mailings that have had people on edge in Texas and across the nation.


The FBI statement also says "it is highly likely" the letters were sent by the same North Texan who has mailed over 380 threatening letters across the nation, each of which contained a non-hazardous substance.
