This time the infernal machine turned out to be a harmless traffic counting device. What's next, a suspicious pizza box next to a dumpster? A box of free kittens? Take a look at the video of Boston's finest in action. Somebody's gonna get an eye put out from all the shrapnel from otherwise harmless objects blown up by the bomb squad.
I hope they get a handle on this by the end of the year or the holiday season is going to be even more stressful than usual. I can see the press conference now:
"The number of suspicious packages reported to Boston police has increased dramatically since Thanksgiving. We think this has something to do with the approaching Christian holiday. The post Office and shopping malls seem to be the primary focus of terrorist activities, with thousands of mysterious packages reported in those locations, many even wrapped in brightly colored paper. The city's resources are stretched to the limit as emergency personnel race to detonate them all before anyone can be hurt."
For sweet reason's sake, get a grip people! We are a nation of idiots.

Let's see... He got everything he needs. He's got his face shield and his helmet. He's got his flak jacket, his shin guards and protective boots, but NO GLOVES! They couldn't at least get officer Gumby here a pair of oven mitts?
"Gee Bill, the Homeland Security grant was a little smaller than we anticipated. We can get you the Kevlar jock-strap or the bomb-proof gloves, but not both... You choose."
