Suspicious package in NY found not dangerous

Share:

New York City authorities briefly shut down a street in Times Square after investigating a suspicious package on Monday which turned out not to be dangerous, the city’s fire department said.

The city is on high security alert after the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on Monday.

Travel alert

In the wake of the killing of bin Laden, the State Department has issued a worldwide travel alert, warning United States citizens of “the enhanced potential for anti-American violence given recent counter-terrorism activity in Pakistan.”

“Given the uncertainty and volatility of the current situation,” the alert said, “U.S. citizens in areas where recent events could cause anti-American violence are strongly urged to limit their travel outside of their homes and hotels and avoid mass gatherings and demonstrations.”

      Oh yes … stay in your homes … lock your doors … the land of the free is in danger … mass paranoia prevails.
      If you spent $ to travel to anywhere after being groped and radiated by US-only airport security, just stay in a hotel room and watch TV.
      If you are from anywhere in the world, but have white skin, try not to look like an American … for example, no Yankee baseball caps .. in fact, no baseball caps at all. And definitely, no clothes bought at Wallymart. Those damn Chinese make you stand out in a crowd with their ‘styles’.
      EVERYTHING is suspicious.
        Wow … almost sounds like Lebanon … hmmm 😉
