The black backpack was spotted by courthouse security just before 8 p.m. local time....

13. I wonder why it took an hour and a half

to make the news.

...The discovery was made at the same time a hearing was taking place in the case of Terri Schiavo.

The hearing continues uninterrupted while streets surrounding the courthouse are closed to cars and pedestrians...

Who's right, in the Terri Schiavo case?

26% Her parents, who want her feeding tube replaced
68% Her husband, who believes she would not want to live the way she has
7% Neither

14. How long can it take to figure out if it is dangerous?!

"Several different agencies are inspecting the backpack to determine whether it is a security threat."

Several agencies? Does this all seem excessive?
