This is what I'm getting off the radio: (It's the top story, but they're not breaking format, still doing traffic and weather on the twos)
Bomb Squad Brought In, suspicious package being examined.
Man Taken into custody
SEPTA's Richard Maloney says an individual got on the R6 at Conshohocken carrying a large backpack. Police with bomb dogs "scored a hit" at Market East. It was the nozzel to a propane tank.

(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
If you are referring to the guy with the propane nozzle, I didn't know that would alert a bomb dog, did you?
If you mean anyone in SEPTA, I'm reminded of a story from WWII where a private in newly invaded France got his unit (battalion?) up all night for a gas alert. One of the war gases smells like new mown hay and they were camped near a hayfield. The private got a "well done" from his CO.
A traffic snarl is a lot better than what would happen if they missed a bomb.
It sounds like a joke after the OK bombing thread, but its not, and I don't have evidence, so this is just speculation--
But, how certain can we be that they REALLY just found a propane nozzle, and this isn't a cover story?
Did the news show the scene? If someone actually saw this, and saw the propane nozzle that would be proof; if it looked like they were carring the pack out really carefully AFTER this announcement, then that would suggest otherwise.
Anyway, probably is exactly what they said, it's just that there are some indications that we are not being fed the truth all the time in these situations....
