The Record
Bergen County has dispatched hazmat and bomb squad teams to three hotels near MetLife Stadium after a suspicious white substance was delivered to the hotels.
The substances were delivered this morning and reported to county officials at 11:42 a.m., said Jeanne Barratta, chief of staff to Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan.
She said the substance was delivered to two hotels in Carlstadt and one in East Rutherford. She said she did not know if anyone at the hotel was exposed to the substance. The FBI and New Jersey State Police are also working the case, she said.

Did anyone notice the low flying helicopters this afternoon. They were “army style” and there were about ten of them. Maybe a show of force.

Actually there were 14.
If you violate the TFR (Temporary flight restriction) the helo’s are the nice guys.
