Condoms Lead To College Evacuation

Prophylactic Miss-Delivery Empties Classrooms

Several classrooms at Des Moines Area Community College were evacuated after college officials became nervous about a suspicious package.

College officials called police and postal inspectors after the box was delivered Thursday. What they found inside wasn't a bomb -- it was a box containing 500 condoms.

The package was sent to a teacher of a human sexuality class, and was sent by a person who had been a previous speaker at the class, said Rob Denson, the college's president.

Consider them controlled explosion devices.

Too bad they didn't take it outside and blow it up like other suspicious packages. Condoms raining down across the campus would have been a great video.

Expect tons of scares in the wake of what happened at VT. Folks will be on hair-trigger for a while.

How about "explosion control" devices?
