A small number of Apple employees appear to have been evacuated from the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California, according to NBC Bay Area. There is little information at this time, but the news site says that a "portion" of the campus was evacuated.

According Santa Clara County Fire Department Captain Justin Stockman, first responders found an envelope containing an unknown white substance, with employees ushered out in case the substance is harmful.

Update: The substance was evaluated and the building was deemed clear, so employees were allowed to re-enter their offices. Officials did not provide details on what the substance was.

Some questions here.

Given how campus is designed how is security not checking contents of packaging or scanning for biological situations or contents for harmful effects B4 the even get close to the main campus?

Strange how enforcement back to worn almost coincides with this incident.
 
Suspect it may be something to do with Apple’s “crack marketing team”? Maybe trying to think up the next OS name…

I hear it was just some experimental potting soil from Jony Ive’s abandoned locker.

To the couple select people running their mouths about this being a conspiracy or not warranting caution: On average there were an estimated 45 murders every day in America in 2019. Those numbers went up about 50% in major cities in 2020, and are likley up again for 2021. There is no conspiracy–society really is full of psychotic murderers and people more generally looking to terrorize others. Something is very wrong with the culture at large.
