Attempt to get free wireless Internet triggered Carlisle bomb scare, police say

A resident's attempt to get free wireless Internet was the cause of a bomb scare in downtown Carlisle late Tuesday, police said this afternoon.


Lt. Michael Dzezinski said an investigation showed that a "suspicious package" that authorities at first feared might be an explosive was in fact a wireless router in a container wrapped in tape with its antenna sticking out.

The device was found in the ground in the 100 block of West High Street around 6:30 p.m. Police closed nearby Dickinson Avenue where a state police explosives expert squad neutralized it four hours later.

Dzezinski said it was determined that a resident of a third-floor apartment had placed the router, wrapped to make it weatherproof, on a windowsill in an attempt to pick up free wireless Internet service from the nearby Bosler Memorial Library.

The device fell off the windowsill onto the sidewalk below where a witness found it and alerted police, he said. No criminal charges will be filed, Dzezinski said.

IMHO it's reasonable for an average person to be concerned over a duct-tape wrapped package with an antenna sticking out, especially if it is near a library or something.

You don't think it's a little bit reasonable for an average person to be concerned over a duct-tape wrapped package with an antenna sticking out?

Yes, i think it's very unreasonable. Has it gotten so bad that everything looks like a bomb? Are they going to blow up the library? Living in Fear is not a good thing. Might as well make the 'threat level' magenta or start pushing it to crimson or whatever.

I liked what they said on CrunchGear about it:

Here's a note to cops: the vast majority of items in the world are not bombs. Especially things that look like the kind of bombs you?d see on TV. If it appears to be something Bruce Willis would throw out of an ascending helicopter at the end of Die Hardest there is a 99.99% chance that it is not a bomb.

Well, I'm glad to hear that. Listen, I've been fatally poisoned, there's probably a psychopath heading over there to torture and kill you as we speak, but don't bother getting out of bed, I'll be there in a flash... Maybe you could fry me up a waffle or something, kay?

While I'm all about the not living in fear and oversensitivity to "terror" I'm calling bullshit on both of these bullshit statements. Bombs are not pretty, nor are they concealed in many cases. While little signs with blinky lights promoting a adult swim show are obviously not bombs, even pre-9/11, some shit like this would have raised some eyebrows. For fuck's sake gentlemen, its a makeshift electronic device with goddamn antennas sticking out near a place of public gathering.

Maybe, but awareness does not equal paranoia... Make no mistake, motherfuckers take shit too far way too often, but every now and then, certain assumptions aren't all that unreasonable

RE: Awareness vs paranoid - That's true and well put, but I think people tend to increase them both at the same measure. As in, yes, they are more aware, and now they are also more paranoid. Thinking for yourself seems to be a lost art.

Well sure, if by paranoia you mean reaction to awareness... if you have never heard of car theft, then you aren't going to worry about keeping your car locked. As you learn more about car theft, you start realizing that their are more or better ways to protect your car. Before long, to a guy that has never heard of car theft (or knows very little about it), the guy with 14 levels of protection on his car might be seen as being "excessive." But in the end, it doesn't become paranoia until the reaction to the awareness exceeds the needs. I think when you are talking about 3k+ motherfuckers dying in a flaming pair of infernos, maybe taking your shoes off at the airport isn't as "excessive" as you might imagine. Ignorance may be blissful, but it doesn't make it any less ignorant

Again, I will say that there are gross over-reactions... such as the reaction to the adult swim ads last year. But in the case of a tape-wrapped electronic device with wires and antennas sitting next to a public building with no reasonably apparent use. A little care in checking it out is far from excessive.

I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes you just can't avoid destroying several at once...

dude, it snows like 40 minutes a year most times, then we get hit good once every 5 or 6 years. For instance, the last time I saw snow like this in Carson was when I moved here... in Jan 05
