“Iowa City Police say the suspicious package that interrupted downtown Iowa City Sunday evening was nothing more than a piece of art…
The Johnson County Metro Bomb Team cordoned off the area, used a remote control robot to analyze the item, and destroyed it with a water cannon.”
I am reading more and more about these type incidents.
So two cottage cheese containers, a magazine, a knitting needle, a piece of maybe a magazine blow-in post card and a handwritten note that looks like a ransom note constitutes “electronic art” these days? Because that’s what it looks like in the picture.
I know it’s not fair, but every time I hear a story like this, I imagine the bomb squad guys as a bunch of 19-year-old frat boys, blowing shit up just because they can.
The robot was thinking, “THIS UNIT HAS NOT BEEN PROGRAMMED FOR ART. THIS UNIT JUST KNOWS WHAT IT LIKES.”
