Ok, well, according to Fox News, they have had a series now of controlled explosions. Here's what this may mean in a nutshell.
OPINION:
1. Suspicious packages were blown up by law enforcement officials.
OR
2. Tips to specific packages were gleaned and then law enforcement blew them up.
OR
3. Some packages have been blown up and law enforcement needs to access the situation now.
Updates are appreciated British Chick.
Don't panic.
