LGA pax "voluntarily surrendered" 2 items-next shift call Bomb Squard 6 hrs later

- OMG, OMG - it looked suspicious, it looked dangerous, it didn't feel right, and it's not edible, they couldn't figure it out, and it's a quiet Monday, let's called LEO and run a full scale exercise - LOL

Calm down - it's code "98" - sat there for 6 hours without going off & was just 2 homeopathic medical devices, like the insulin pump but this time, they sure "stopped" it at the checkpoint and apparently told the pax to "voluntarily surrender it" or else to NOT fly.

Local media outlets are "buzzing" with it this morning - ... The TSA said the Port Authority bomb squad was called “out of an abundance of caution ... Spin it, again
