Suspicious Package Found At Gay Marriage Rally
Hartford, Connecticut) Hartford and state police are investigating the contents of a suspicious canister discovered Sunday at a rally in support of gay marriage at the Connecticut Capitol.

The canister was found on the steps of the building where more than 700 people were calling on legislators to enact legislation to legalize same-sex marriage in the state.

An area immediately surrounding the spot where the package was discovered was evacuated. A special police unit wearing hazardous material suits removed the canister and took it to a state lab for testing.

Police say no one was injured and none in the crowd showed any symptoms of exposure to a dangerous substance.

.. they evcuated a whole area for a can of fix-a-flat or something...

The other day it took me 2 hours to get home from work because of a "suspicious box" on the freeway. x(

(which of course turned out to be nothing)

Jeez, come on guys.... I could drive through a cloud of gas fast enough not to breathe any in.... they should just make everyone drive faster....
