Capt. Robert Falldorf of the Grand Island Police Department said a staff member spotted the box in the band room, but could not recall seeing it there before. The staff member did not think the box looked like it held any kind of band instrument.[/quote]

Is society really so paranoid that [I]any[/I] unmarked box is considered a dangerous package until not?

I'd think that anyone would assume that an instrument was inside it, or anything else that may be associated with music. It was a box in a music room after all :v:

Tell me that they at least destroyed the accordion before it could harm anyone's ears.

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;49633075]911 wasnt a bomb in a bag. Terrorism wasnt invented in 2001.[/QUOTE] of course, but after that the US kind kicked themselves into high gear and the media created this massive terrorism scare that wasn't nearly as big as it was before. that's not saying it didn't happen before, it's saying that people are scared over everything now

Oh shit this is straight out of Broken Sword lol

My university had a street shut down at the start of the school year because of an unidentified box. It turned out to be an upside down box with a rabbit inside.

[QUOTE=massaki;49633326]Oh shit this is straight out of Broken Sword lol[/QUOTE] yeah that was the first thing I thought of [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uudul4IRZTg[/media]

The school's never going to live it down. Just think of the jokes that'll come out of this :v:

Talk about extreme paranoia :v:

Weird Al strikes again.

[QUOTE=Trebgarta;49633075]911 wasnt a bomb in a bag. Terrorism wasnt invented in 2001.[/QUOTE] Yeah but it fundamentally changed the way Americans thought about terrorism and war in the 21st century. It really was something of a paradigm shift. He's absolutely right.

[QUOTE=croguy;49633021]Tell me that they at least destroyed the accordion before it could harm anyone's ears.[/QUOTE] I believe the bomb squads words were something like "we removed kebab"
