It sounds like they’ve already determined that this is just baby powder mailed from Hong Kong, but if that changes we’ll let you know.
Either way this is now two days in a row that his has occurred and given where the letter originated, it’s too soon to be a copycat. And I’m guessing it isn’t a coincidence either.
