At least until the real bomb squad showed up, but as long as we have extra chairs and beers I bet we could buy ourselves more time...
Never thought of it that way. Good idea. (note to self bring 'good' movies)

This evening's news (WESH-TV) is reporting that the "suspicious package" found under a WDW bus was actually an experimental tire pressure monitoring system that was attached by the manufacturer to that one bus as a test and never removed.

It had been under that bus -- unnoticed -- since 1998.

Usually with a suspicious package, our local police department will shut down the street. Our favorite is the robot. It ends up being an empty box, but who knows, it can TNT. :eek:

So what happens is the staff that knew what it was have moved on, a new mechanic has never seen it before and said something to a manager who also has never seen it before.

Instant suspicious item. In this day and age, who knows. With the way buses are parked in remote locations at night, a determined crazy could easily plant something.

Talk about an embarrasing situation :o: .

I can't help but think that several people will be suddenly resigning to spend more time with their families in the near future.
