The Constitution was not damaged, according to the National Archives Museum, which said that the powder was found to be a combination of pigment and cornstarch.

    Interesting they’d use powder, a way more suspicious substance than paint.

    How the fuck did it cost $50,000 to clean up though? Get a goddamn vacuum, some paper towel, a mop. Fifty goddamn thousand?

        Hazard pay for all involved too. Emotional distress and all. You never know what these tree hugging terrorists will do. I keep Tom Clancy Rainbow Six on my nightstand.

          Hazard pay

          Yeah, I don’t think that the employees who cleaned it up got even a quarter of the money.

          I love that book. Hey, Olympics this year, and close to Hereford…

        I manufacture the highest grade of hazmat suit material there is. $1600 will get you an XXL suit. I couldn’t come up with a way to make this cost more than say $4k-5k.

          Private crime scene clean up crew. Need to scrub the brain matter off the ceiling before it soaks in and makes the next tenants uncomfortable. That’ll be $2700. Oh we need to vacuum up a bunch of dust, but in a super special location? The government funded federal cleaning crew will have that vacuumed up with 2 wipe downs for only $50k.

            Would be hilarious if, while the people are getting arrested and the fancy cleaning crew is being called and all, Bob the Janitor came by, mopped it up, and went on with his day without giving it much more thought.
