Suspicious item at the airport

Apr01
2008 Written by Randy Corman

Can any of you Rentonites think of a reason for headphone jacks to be taped to a can of spray paint, other than someone trying to create a suspicious looking object?

Here is an email I received today:

The Renton Police Dept was called to the Airport this morning to investigate a suspicious looking object which had been found in the Boeing Employee Flying Club parking lot late yesterday. After x-raying the object, the Port of Seattle determined the object to be non-threatening, and dismantled it. It turned out to be a full spray paint can with headphone jacks taped to the outside with duct tape.

If I receive any more information on this, I will forward it to you.

Thanks,
Susan
