A suspicious package found at North Broward Medical Center Friday morning turned out to be a remote control, the Broward Sheriff's Office said.

It posed no threat to the hospital.

Hospital officials spotted the device about 8:40 a.m. and called authorities. A BSO bomb squad was called to the scene, 201 E. Sample Rd. in Deerfield Beach, to check out the ``suspicious package.''

The campus was never evacuated.

Authorities later said the device was a keyless remote control for a vehicle. It had duct tape wrapped around it to keep it together, BSO said.

1. You know, I'd bet you could wrap duct tape around an apple

and somebody would call the bomb squad.
