nervous times...

Today every news channel on tv ran with Breaking news out of Boston, about a possible bomb scare. Police, SWAT teams, Dept. of Homeland Security, helicopters, US Coast guards, all involved. People had reported electronic light boards with batteries and blinking lights under a bridge. The news makers were talking about "dry runs", possible terrorism, bombs etc etc etc.
Turns out it was all a promotion for a tv show. Who was responsible? Turner Broadcasting Inc., the parent company of CNN!!
One might wonder why in these times of worry, would you put up batteries/electronics/blinking lights around any US city...?
