NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Two people who sprinkled flour in a parking lot to mark a trail for their offbeat running club inadvertently caused a bioterrorism scare and now face a felony charge. The sprinkled powder forced hundreds to evacuate an IKEA furniture store Thursday. New Haven ophthalmologist Daniel Salchow, 36, and his sister, Dorothee, 31, who is visiting from Hamburg, Germany, were both charged with first-degree breach of peace, a felony. The siblings set off the scare while organizing a run for a local chapter of the Hash House Harriers, a worldwide group that bills itself as a "drinking club with a running problem." "Hares" are given the task of marking a trail to direct runners. On Thursday, the Salchows decided to route runners through the massive IKEA parking lot. Police fielded a call just before 5 p.m. that someone was sprinkling powder on the ground. The incident prompted a massive response from police in New Haven and surrounding towns. Daniel Salchow biked back to IKEA when he heard there was a problem and told officers the powder was just harmless flour, which he said he and his sister have sprinkled everywhere from New York to California without incident. "Not in my wildest dreams did I ever anticipate anything like that," he said.

TERRORIST!!! GRAB HER!!!! WRESTLE HER TO THE GROUND!!!!
According to one of my kooky anti govt buddies, Morton Salt doesn't stick in high humidity because the grains are coated with a type of plastic, and it's no longer sodium chloride, but, sodium hypochlorite or something.... He recommends buying large bags of sea salt (sold for water treatment filtration-brine tanks) and grinding it into manageable crystals. Otherwise, we pay heap big wampum for table size containers of sea salt.

Kosher salt is what all of us chefs use :) Pure salt. It's grains are crystals and larger than table salt and add a much better flavor to dishes prepared with it. Why the call it Kosher is beyond me, but it has no plastic in it!
