Bomb scares are nothing new to geocaching. Read about the most recent incident in Texas here and here.

Also on the Groundspeak forums, here .

there was the bridge one in LA

UPDATE FOR :COUNTRY BRIDGE 2

Seeing as how the container at this location has alarmed a select few, the container has been modified. Please know that based on my chosen profession and having shared training with bomb squad/IED disablement, we know exactly the appearance of a real granade or even an improvised/altered granade. A box with wires protruding out of it is a different story though.God bless our troops!

Y'all remember the incident with 007BigD's cache? That was hilarious.

Perhaps you know better, but the general public does not. It will be those muggles calling 911 when they see a bunch of suspicious people at GZ and come looking to see why they're there.

I don't know that story. Do tell...but try not to hijack the tread, OK?

Actually, it's right on point. Read the ill-fated cache page here, and the newspaper article here.

WOW! That was a cool cache container!
