USM building evacuated
GORHAM — Safety officials evacuated a University of Southern Maine dormitory and offices Monday after school postal staff discovered a suspicious envel- ope. The envelope was mailed from Gaza, via Israel, but was not addressed to anyone who works at or attends USM, school spokesman Bob Caswell said. The 9-by-12-inch envelope also contained a bulky object, had excessive postage, was addressed with block letters and misspellings and did not contain the required international customs stamp, USM Police Chief Lisa Beecher said.

The package was discovered in midmorning. State and local police as well as federal authorities were called, as was the Gorham Fire Department and the state's weapons of mass destruction civil support team. After chemical scans and X-rays determined the package was not an immediate threat, it was taken to the Maine State Police crime lab for further analysis, Caswell said.

Officials evacuated Upton-Hastings Hall, which houses the postal service, the police department and dormitory housing for 280 students, about 1:30 p.m. and allowed people to return 90 minutes later, Caswell said.

Yeah, so that is my home. Its amazing to stand up on top of the hill diverting people from the building and picturing it being blown up a la Jerry Bruckheimer.
