White Powder Sent to LDS Temples in L.A. and Salt Lake City

By now, I'm guessing that most of you have at least heard about "white powder" being sent to the Salt Lake temple and the L.A. temple. I can put up with all the protests; this is America after all. We all have the right to assemble and protest so long as we do it peacefully and without infringing on others' rights. But seriously, sending white powder, whether it is anthrax or not, is just not cool. Here is a blurb from the L.A. Times:
The Mormon temple in Westwood was closed Thursday afternoon after an envelope filled with an unidentified white, powdery substance was delivered to temple employees, Los Angeles police said.

A similar letter was received at the Salt Lake City Mormon temple about 3:30 p.m. local time today, said Juan Becerra, a spokesman for the FBI's Salt Lake City office.
The best "comment" on this story that I've seen comes courtesy of the readers of KSL.com:
"My favorite comment so far... is the one about sending green Jell-O to THEIR places of 'worship' ..."
