Different slant here: Sources told Fox News that the pressure cooker may have been part of a propane tank used in a food truck.

“[The owners’] story checked out,” said one source. “But we wanted to neutralize it.” http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/05/25/one-arrested-after-bomb-squad-checks-suspicious-vehicle-near-us-capitol/

“Say, did you hear an explosion?
No. It was just the police.
The police?
Yeah, they’re blowing stuff up again.”

I don’t believe the vehicle was anywhere near as suspicious as the police.

Leave a car or truck near the Capitol, cause a panic.

"Sources told Fox News that the pressure cooker may have been part of a propane tank used in a food truck."

Huh? How about, "Sources told Fox News that the pressure cooker and propane tank may have been intended for use in a food truck."

(Meanwhile, a bazillion Crown Victoria taxi cabs driven by guys in head scarves fade into the DC background.)

Stop by the house. Mi Espousa is preparing her industrial size... feed the masses...roaster pan of Arroz Verde con Pollo. Best hurry though, usually no leftovers!

“”Further investigation revealed a pressure cooker, and an odor of gasoline was detected,”

Sounds like Mom’s Chicken Surprise.”

He had to be arrested or the police would have been liable for damages.
