59. It's Unclear To Me

if these are actual explosive devices, pretend explosive devices, or "suspicious" packages. It brings to mind an incident someone I worked with was involved in where this person made a huge deal out of a suspicious package during a mill strike, complete with evacuations, ATF and the whole nine that turned out to be two six packs in a paper bag mailed between the union lawyer and the management lawyer to settle a bet.

Not saying this is in settlement of a bet, but there's a big difference between a suspicious package(s) and a Ted Kaczynski bomb. Speaking of Ted, what's he been up to lately?
