I don't know that a picture has quite the same impact.

I'm sure it does not. However, there's quite an impact when you get the bill for:

"Police and firefighters...at the downtown location for about 1 1/2 hours, securing the scene and conducting field tests for possible hazardous substances or volatile compounds."

As usual, I am a little slow at getting the point, but it appears to me that:

Tea bag protests are highly publicized and are going on by the thousands all over the country.

A tea bag is readily identifiable.

This mailing as identified as a tea bag protest.

Dims expect to get them.

THEREFORE: It seems to me that this person who turned in the alarm turned in a false alarm, knowing full well that it was a false alarm and is the person who should not only be charged the costs of the responders, but should also be criminally prosecuted for turning in a false alarm.
