Sandia Labs makes ricin decontaminate


New Mexico has a link to what could be keeping President Barack Obama safe from attacks. 
Sandia Labs developed a type of foam to decontaminate anthrax that federal buildings have been using for more than a decade. They said the foam used for anthrax can also decontaminate ricin.
 Sandia Labs said there is a chance the foam is being used now to clean up after a suspicious letter sent to Obama. That letter contained ricin, a poison found in castor oil plant seeds.
 Mark Tucker, the foam’s mastermind, said he developed the sudsy solution before the 2001 anthrax attacks. The decontamination foam cleaned up the federal buildings after the anthrax scare.
