Living in fear blows

Recently, The Star reports that a suspicious package and possible bomb was reported behind a local home. Kansas City police responded with the bomb and arson squad and a fire truck, ambulance and squad cars.

Of course there were a bevy of reporters and camera crews on the scene according to the report.

Here's the money line from the short, sweet story:

"As police eyed the box, a gust of wind blew it over. It was empty."

However, empty is a contentious word given that nobody has devised a way to measure fear or anxiety over the U.S. losing another quagmire as of yet.
