Home Land Security

A suspicious package at the National Postal Museum next to Union Station caused the area to be evacuated during the lunch rush today. Luckily -- or perhaps, unluckily, if you work for the bomb squad -- the offending package turned out to contain only a soiled diaper. The area was reopened by 1:30 p.m. On behalf of the city, DCist would like to thank you, fearless, put upon bomb squad members, for keeping us safe from this shit. [WaPo]


What the DCist doesn't mention is that the postal museum is kitty corner from the Department of Homeland Securrrity.
