And, yes, I DO take it personally: An "angry individual" with a "grudge" who sends packages that burst into flames isn't a terrorist?

An "angry individual" with a "grudge" who sends packages that burst into flames isn't a terrorist?

wtf...?

Terrorism Not Suspected in Md. Burning Packages

Two mail packages caused some kind of incendiary reaction when opened, burning the fingers of two employees in separate incidents at two state office buildings in Maryland at almost the same time Thursday afternoon. Officials say there is no apparent connection to any domestic terror group and that the mailings appear to be from an angry individual who has a specific grudge against the Maryland State Government.

and if the individual who sent the packages was a muslim...?
