A Texas woman has been charged with mailing explosive devices to Barack Obama and Texas governor Greg Abbott that she made using a cigarette packet and a salad dressing cap. Agents were able to trace the improvised explosive device back to Poff on the basis of a destroyed shipping label. A Pall Mall cigarette packet and a salad dressing cap used to create the bomb were also found to have originated from Poff’s home. Poff sent a similar device to the White House during the Obama presidency, the documents for the prosecution show. Documents for the prosecution claim she blamed the Obama administration because her application for social security benefits had been denied.
