Bogus eBay UPS Uniform Sale Fools Sheriff
A simple Internet search for Kimberly Bush-Carr turns up this: http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl-ups-uniforms.htm
However, the FBI subsequently confirmed that these purchases were, in fact, thoroughly investigated by the agency and found not to be terrorist-related. I repeat: the purchases were not terrorist-related, according to the FBI.
Update: Despite the apparent signature of a Dept. of Homeland Security official ("Kimberly Bush-Carr") on versions circulating since June 2003, this message did not originate from the U.S. government. The signature is a hoax.
The rumor of the purchase of UPS uniforms has been circulating since February 2003 and has been debunked by the FBI. You would think the Sheriff's Department would investigate more thoroughly before alarming the entire organization.
