Explosive? No, sprinkler parts, in another false alarm at port
MIAMI - The Port of Miami had its second false terrorism alarm in two days Monday when a package waiting to be loaded onto a cruise ship tested positive for plastic explosive. Authorities later found it was harmless.

A Miami-Dade County police bomb squad destroyed the box and then checked it, said Zach Mann, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman. The box held sprinkler parts, which contained a substance that "closely resembles" the military-grade explosive known as C4, police spokesman Bobby Williams said.

2. BTW, what ever became of that liquid bomb thing?
Have they let those people go yet? It's gone completely silent, so I would assume that the whole thing has or will vanish.
