Suspicious Package Found in Car Near US Capitol

There may be others.
Suspicious package? A set of balls addressed to the GOP leadership?
Blowing up a package isn't the same as detonating it. Something must be explosive to detonate.

I trust that when those guys rented the car, they
didn't check the box marked:
[_] Police detonation liability waiver.
Why did they take them out of the car before "disrupting" the package?
Of course there were no evacuations. All the important people were not working....it's Friday, after all.
I hope they got the remote detonation damage waiver.
Not that it's important but, silly me, were these 'gentlemen' wearing towels on their heads or were they in some other way impaired? Oh ... never mind ... I'm probably the only one who has these irrelevant questions.
And were their names Abdullah something and Mahmood something?
