This is really quite a picture of over-reaction:

“Hundreds of law enforcement personnel, under the direction of the FBI, converged Thursday night on the Woodside Green Condominiums in Stamford where Carey lived. Police used a bomb-detecting robot to clear the residence. Chemical experts in rubber, hazardous material suits and contained breathing apparatus followed after some apparently unfounded concern about a hazardous substance in the home.

A source familiar with the search said it turned up baby bottles and a crib, but no weapons, bombs or political tracts — nothing to indicate Carey had any particular problem with the government.”
