ATLANTA - Hundreds of workers were evacuated Tuesday from a downtown federal building that houses Internal Revenue Service offices after a shipment of decorative crystal eggs was mistaken for a possible hand grenade.

Atlanta police Officer Otis Redmond says workers X-raying packages in the mail room of the Peachtree Summit Federal Building found the suspicious package Tuesday. NBC News quoted a fire official saying that the package appeared to contain a hand grenade, but the contents later proved to be crystal eggs.

8. Here's a crystal egg. I guess you might think it was a grenade.

BTW, it would show up in an x-ray because it's lead crystal.
