Leave a bag of coffee on a northbound Caltrain Monday afternoon?

They're holding it at lost and found, said Caltrain spokeswoman Jayme Kunz.

That is, after they held Train 153 in the San Bruno station for about an hour until a bomb-sniffing dog figured out it was, well, a gift bag of coffee.

... The evacuation was reminiscent of the anthrax scares shortly after the September 2001 terror attacks when baby powder and coffee creamer spills frequently shut down trains, Kunz said.

1. We're going to have to revisit that national anthem. . .

or make the question mark after "home of the brave" quite a bit larger.

2. White powder I could almost see, but coffee looks like what? Oh, a bag!

Though the silly twits that freaked at the sight of spilled sugar or powdered creamer or (OMG!) white powdered footprints in the rug!!!! were pretty stupid. But a bag of coffee looks and smells like what? Other than a bag of coffee? Oh, that's right, they are keeping us safer. bah
