Update on this rule.  Hits started at ~9:20am ET.  We saw 365 hits in 40 
minutes before we added the rule panic, of which ~5% were FPs. We pulled it 
since that is a large number of FPs for a single rule.

In the next 20 minutes there were another 158 hits logged, but with the rule 
panic in place.

We're noticing a lot of FPs on this rule, and have added a RulePanic entry.

Pete, is there a problem with it?

The rule was for passport.com -- it has already been removed.

Our auto-panic monitoring system also shows that many systems panicked 
the rule on their own.

We're still seeing hits.  I assume the rule removal hasn't propagated to our 
rulebase yet?

BTW, we were seeing hits on the rule across a broad range of emails that 
related to passport.com.

The rule will be missing from your next update if it's not already gone 
when you get this.

In any case your panic entry makes it inert.
The latest data from the rule panic watcher does not show any further 
hits -- so it seems to be gone from most systems already.
