The Cambridge bomb squad descended on the Central Square post office this morning, ultimately -- it turns out -- because of a buzzing electric nose hair trimmer.
A birthday package sent to an MIT staff member aroused suspicion at about 7:30 a.m. today when it wouldn’t stop humming. Postal workers contacted the authorities, and the building was evacuated for 90 minutes.
“There was a suspicious package, kicking, making noise, vibrating—they got concerned,” said Cambridge Police spokesman Frank Pasquerello. “We had to take the certain precautions.”
Cambridge police and fire officials responded to the call at 770 Massachusetts Avenue, as did the bomb squad van. The U.S. Postal Inspectional Services team was also on the scene. Green and Pleasant streets were temporarily closed.

Must have been quite a surprise for the designated bomb-sniffing dog.
I thought that H. Clinton’s carry on made the same noise...
Amazing how stupid some people can be. No real bomb is going to make buzzing noises and start dancing around. It’s just going to go boom.
That was her portable battery operated trembling devise.
“Bodyon?”

Only in my wacky state.
