What outstanding timing:

The "potentially sinister" (my italics) and "suspicious object" appear to be an "ink toner cartridge converted to a bomb", according to Reuters/CNN - both well known for leaking "spooky" stories - see: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN2911979920101029
According to BBC News 6 p.m., bulletin it is far too early to even "remotely" conclude that the "potentially sinister" (my italics) and "suspicious object" is anything to worry about.
Which is, I suppose, why it has become the leading news item on both sides of the Atlantic.
Those whose "suspicious" noses are twitching about "potentially sinister" news stories are invited retune their TV's to the Simpson's.

Quote:Package on Yemen-US flight sparks East Midlands alerts
BBC News coverage of plane bomb alert
A "suspicious object" found at East Midlands Airport was on a flight from Yemen to Chicago, the BBC understands.
Parts of the airport were sealed off twice following the package's discovery but the cordons have now been lifted.
The BBC's Danny Shaw said it is understood that the item was on board a UPS cargo plane on a routine stop at East Midlands.
It was re-examined after UPS cargo planes were later grounded at Newark in New Jersey and Philadelphia.
Scotland Yard says there is nothing to suggest that any location in the UK was being targeted.
No other UK airports are affected by the security alerts.
The plane travelling from Yemen to the US had stopped at East Midlands airport. The cargo was examined, tests were carried out and the object has now been sent for "scientific examination."
According to the BBC's Home Affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford, it was not a "bomb" but was "potentially sinister".
Emergency services were called to the Donington site at East Midlands airport at about 0330 BST and evacuated a distribution centre. The area was reopened just before 1000 BST but a cordon was re-imposed just before 1400 BST so the package could be re-examined.
All cordons were lifted at about 1740 BST.
A Leicestershire Constabulary spokesman said the package at East Midlands was re-examined "as a precaution".
This meant a freight distribution building and a number of offices were closed, together with two internal airport roads.
No details have been given as to why the package was re-examined after being declared safe.
A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said: "We are aware of the incident and it is a matter for the police. The Department for Transport is taking the lead on this."
According to the Home Office, the current threat level from international terrorism to the UK is classed as severe, meaning a terrorist attack is highly likely.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
