Discussion: Building Housing San Diego Union-Tribune Evacuated Due To Suspicious Packages

Seem to be quite a few suspicious device stories this morning. I wonder where the Proud Boys are.

Well, this is how terrorism works. Any funny-looking package is going to set off the panic button today.

Very tense times. Is Trump getting fitted with body amour?

As soon as they can find enough material.

That might include my lunch if I hadn’t packed it myself.

I don’t think he can even get body like.

Photo ID should be required for leaving suspicious packages.

I’m right across the street.

They let people back in about 15 minutes ago.

In the post 9/11 days, I watched the San Diego bomb squad detonate a couple large CRT TVs that somebody had dumped at the curb in front of an apartment building.

They looked like they had brackets on them for hanging from the ceiling – like a TV in a school classroom. I don’t know if they’d been stolen or had been pulled out of a dumpster, but they probably got dumped when the person(s) who had them figured out that nobody wanted them.

I doubt that the bomb squad thought there was a real possibility that they contained explosives. The street and sidewalks were taped off, but the apartments weren’t evacuated. I think they saw it as a good excuse for running a realistic drill.

The building that houses the San Diego Union-Tribune was evacuated on Wednesday due to “suspicious looking packages” that were stacked near its front door.
