Mark,
You're not the first person who'd have me die to prove your point.
That's the difference between myself and you.
I can live with your opinions.

Noting of the sort, and I'm sorry if you thought that I harbored any ill-will towards you. I certainly don't wish your death. However, as someone who went to college with a man who (while in the military) worked in EOD, and having a cousin in Israel who nearly once got on a bus that was blown up by a suicide bomber (she was running late that day, due to an overly fussy daughter), I don't take the possibility of bombs lightly. You said that the people and managers of Boston were stupid for the actions taken when unfamiliar electronic packages were found in unusual places.
In Israel, you'd hear "Shell me zeh?" when finding one of those "packages," and upon nobody steping up to claim it, the area would have been evacuated, and EOD people would be brought in.
I was simply suggesting that if you are so sure that there's no danger in unknown parcels found in unusual places, that you should volunteer to check them out, rather than simply ridiculing those who take these sorts of things very seriously.
