[QUOTE]The rail service said it was operating on or close to schedule as of 10:15 a.m. It said residual delays of between one and two hours may have happened shortly after service resumed around 8:30 a.m.
The package was discovered around 5:30 a.m. on Unquowa Road on an overpass near the Fairfield station. Eyewitnesses said it looked like the cartoon robot "Bender" from the animated sitcom Futurama. The station was evacuated at the time.
Police said the bomb squad x-rayed the object around 7 a.m. and determined that it was not an explosive.
They said it was a school project constructed at nearby Thomlinson Middle School. It's owner was identified. Police said the child inadvertently left the item near the bridge with the intent of returning to retrieve it.[/QUOTE]

Sorry for the shitty quality, only one I could find.
Wait, people looked at that, and immediately thought it was a [I]bomb[/I]? Are people getting stupider or more paranoid?

Paranoid. People get increasingly suspicious of unattended stuff anywhere.

Better safe than sorry but yeah it is a little ridiculous.

All it takes is 1 person to report it for something like this to happen

New York City's got a PSA campaign called "if you see something, say something" and its ads are all clips of people sitting around on subways and there's a random backpack sitting in the middle of the train car.
It's to make sure that people will notice and do something if someone leaves a disguised bomb
Remember the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_Boston_bomb_scare]ATHF bomb scare?[/url] That was god damn hilarious.

Apparently the CEO of Cartoon Network and several higher-ups at the time stepped down after that, which led to new management and the cessation of beloved shows and skits. A lot of people believe that the ATHF bomb scare was responsible for ending Cartoon Network's golden age.

Like this one better:

its time to start leaving unmarked boxes with a clock inside out in random places.

It's a weird metal box with a creepy face on it near a major rail network.
I'm seriously not surprised people would call the bomb squad.

Well, that event went from one of the funniest things I've ever seen to one of the more depressing real quick.

People should start leaving boxes of Bad Dragon outside of places.

if i were a bombman trying to bomb things i sure as heck wouldn't draw a big dumb face on my bombs so everyone would notice them
come to think of it, i'd probably make a big metal ball with flashing lights all over it and drop it outside the train station. when the anti-bombmen are called to examine it, they x-ray it, and it's discovered just to have a can of pringles inside. everyone cheers now that they know it's just a dumb viral advert, then the trash bin nearby explodes into shrapnel and fire, exploding both the train station and the anti-bombmen. teach you to mess with my bombs, fuckers

If I were to make a bomb I would make it look like bender
[QUOTE=Captain Kep;45167366]Wait, people looked at that, and immediately thought it was a [I]bomb[/I]? Are people getting stupider or more paranoid?[/QUOTE]
Bender has been known to explode on [I]at least[/I] 3 different occasions.

[QUOTE]On February 27, 2007, just a month after the incident, the Boston police bomb squad responded and detonated another object that they believed to be a bomb, which turned out to be a city-owned traffic counter.[/QUOTE]
Oh Boston
The boston police bomb squad must only recruit the blind
