Lady found a mortar (!!!) round wired to a cell phone in her truck. I assumed it was a Mooninites vs Boston PD kind of thing but some talking head from the PD says it's legit. I guess we'll see.

Wow - Bueney is about as small town America as you can get.   :O

Never lived there, but we used to drive through there a lot, and sold a lot of firewood logs in BV - mostly to schoolteachers.  It was like our second home, shopping-wise.

That's a relief.  I'll note that I could make something real enough looking to really panic the cops for a while(anti-IED training before deployment), but I'm not about to.

Several law enforcement sources told CNN the objects were determined to be homeopathic medical devices.

Geocaches cause that kind of response once in a while.  I can see it with a container that looks like it could be a bomb, especially when hidden near a building or where there are a lot of people.  But they have even called the bomb squad for a film canister hidden in a tree in an open parking lot.  Why would you assume that's a bomb?
