Must be election season. From AZFamily.com

WINTERSBURG, Ariz. - The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office bomb squad is at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station investigating a suspicious package.

The package was spotted by security personnel around 5:15 a.m. on Wednesday inside a vehicle at the plant.

The plant is on lockdown right now and access to and from the station has been halted while the package is examined.

The lockdown is causing some traffic issues on Interstate 10 right outside the plant.

And clip of the development:

"extreme illegals"

Cool! That's a new one to me. How about:

illegalo-fascists or illegalo-terrorists

Those terms I just coined may only be used with proper attribution.

it's probably full of state issued safety manuals about what to do if you find a suspicious package

That's just buyers remorse. You were howling in ecstasy at one point.

Like it takes much to cause "traffic issues" on the 10 anywhere near Phx.

That stuff like this is happening is surprising anyone?

Stopped at the outside gate.  Nowhere near the industrial facility, which the spokesperson referred to as the "plant proper."  In case you didn't know, you can't just drive your car into the nuclear site and park it next to containment.

During a corporate audit of a defense contracter (that shall remain nameless), a briefcase was found at a vending machine in the building I worked in.  Security officers jumped to the conclusion that this was a test of their competence, took the briefcase out to the parking lot and blew it up.  Contents: lunch and a temporary vendor's badge.  Some wag later made up stickers for everyone's briefcase stating:  "Warning:  This briefcase contains NO bomb, please do NOT destroy!"

"Nothing news" never fails to amuse me.

What's that?  A SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE?!?  Holy shit!!!  Wake the kids!  Phone the neighbors!  Everyone man battle stations and brace for impact!  WHERE'S MY DUCT TAPE?!?

Some guy somewhere saw a SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE!  OH NOEZ!!!

Let it be known that on 10/13/2010, once again presented with existential threat, I find myself far too paralyzed with terror to engage in rational thought.

I hate when that happens.

But "they" love it when it happens. So it evens out somewhere down the Karma line when the sums are totaled.

Fear. It's what's for dinner.

Gosh they'll have to detonate that article for "safety reasons"....

But really, its 6 miles from I-10 to the main gate, why would there be any traffic jams, other than reporters and camera vans?

And the main gate is over 1/2 mile from any buildings on the site (if memory serves).....

How come all the "suspicious package's" are false alarms or duds but nothing has ever been suspected when there was an actual attack?

0% accuracy..... means they get a bonus right?

Let me write that headline:

Dept of Energy Regulator Leaves Box of Porn and Sexual Devices in Car
Security personnel at the nuclear power plant were quoted as saying:

"It's company policy never to imply ownership... always use the indefinite article "A" dildo, never "YOUR" dildo..."

The DOE as well as the SEC declined to comment...

A "suspicious" package in a CAR.  What makes a package that is in a closed car suspicious?  I bet if you go out to any parking lot right now, and look through the window of the car you will see packages of all shapes and sizes.  Something about this stinks to high heaven.
