The Police and Bomb squad removed everything from the containers. The contents were tons of boxes about the size of a suitcase. They had them lined up on the lot with bomb sniffing dogs sniffing each and every one. In todays Seattle Times it says nothing was found and that the dog handlers explained the animals may have "hit" on the containers if they had been used to ship fireworks or been touched by dockworkers with explosive residue in their hands. The cargo containers were put on board from another vessel somewhere in Asia. The fireworks explanation would make sense with the 4th of July not that long ago and tons and tons of fireworks shipped from China.

The local Democrat Senators or blaming Bush as suspected for "doing nothing to protect our ports", however as far as I'm concerned this event shows that the system worked well.
