Suspicious packages found around Boston.
I was flipping through the channels to watch Tyra and this was on instead. Apparently several packages were found around Boston near bridges. Retarded people FTL!
Has anyone been watching the updates? Last I saw they had found 7 packages.

(AP) Five suspicious packages planted near bridges and other spots around Boston forced the shutdown of major roads, a bridge and a stretch of the Charles River on Wednesday before authorities concluded the objects were not bombs.
"It's a hoax — and it's not funny," said Gov. Deval Patrick.
Police said four calls, all around 1 p.m., reported suspicious devices at the Boston University Bridge and the Longfellow Bridge, which both span the Charles River, at a Boston street corner and at the Tufts-New England Medical Center.
The package near the Boston University bridge was found attached to a structure beneath the span, where it crosses the Massachusetts Turnpike highway, authorities said.
Subway service across the Longfellow Bridge between Boston and Cambridge was briefly suspended, and Storrow Drive was closed as well.
Another device was found earlier in the day at a subway station, forcing a temporary shutdown of Interstate 93.
