Northwest Airlines has removed packets of artificial sweeteners and powdered
coffee creamer from all flights due to the general public’s anthrax-related
concerns about “mysterious” white powders. Two Northwest flights have already
been delayed due to false alarms cncerning white powders. Ironically,
passengers will still be allowed to bring their own sweeteners or powdered
creamers aboard, thogh airline officials don’t recommend doing so. In a
related story, a local drug dealer who asked not to be identified has reported
that widespread public fear of white powdery substances has not had any
significant impact on the booming cocaine market.
