Thirty water-filled plastic bottles were found in the tunnels overnight Monday. And now SEPTA spokesman Richard Maloney says another 32 were found the following night. The investigation by both SEPTA's transit police and the city police and F-B-I continues, but as it progresses, Maloney says, officials are coming more and more to believe it's a hoax or prank -- not criminal activity.

Authorities can't explain yet why the bottles of water have been left in the tunnels. Most have been found on emergency lights or near emergency exits.

It could be practice runs for bottles filled with "something else" at a later date. - i.e., A study of how easy they are to place? How long before someone noticed?, etc.

A "hoax or prank" of this type should result in jail time. This is not a day and age when this kind of thing can be taken lightly. We are at war and the enemy is on our shore. I think Tom Ridge should make a public statement to this effect.

This would take multiple people and a lot of work. People are way too lazy to play a prank that actually takes work and is dangerous. It was no prank IMO.
