bombThis story cracked me up. A 17 year old visiting the campus of Florida State University accidentally shut down parts of the campus as a briefcase left on or near his car was mistaken for an explosive device.

The area was cordoned off, buildings evacuated, a command post set up, local fire departments and bomb squads summoned.

It turns out the briefcase that caused so much suspicion and labeled as “displaying a message of destructive device” was actually his nickname, “A-Bomb.”  link to alert messages
