The threat made by telephone concerned the press briefing room so it was evacuated. No other rooms inside the White House were evacuated, which is so odd.

Not much news in yet...but a suspicious package is said to be the cause.
Secret Service officials interrupted the daily White House briefing Tuesday and evacuated administration staff and reporters because of an unspecified security issue.
Secret Service personnel gave no reason for the evacuation.

Hmm...If I had to guess I would say live anthrax?

If bomb threats are a regular occurrence but this is the first time they have been evacuated, and they were the only ones to be evacuated it seems more likely the secret service just didn't want the press to see or hear something

Remember 911 events? The one dispatcher is told there may be a bomb aboard one of the planes and she exclaims, "A Bomb!?"
The days before airlines as cruise missiles were simpler.
The war of terror has everyone running to and fro like scared chickens.

Apparently the entire Executive Wing of offices was evacuated as well.

Apparently the Briefing Room and the entire Executive Wing of offices was cleared, and correspondents were told to make sure that cameras were pointing to the ground and covered.
President Obama and his entire family remained in the White House the entire time.
Now, call me a conspiracy theorist (PLEASE !) but I'm a firm believer that there was a secret visitor to the White House that they don't want anyone to know about.
Why would they ask for cameras to be pointed to the ground and covered up, and NOT evacuate the President for a bomb threat?
If something unexpected suddenly gets announced in the next few days, we'll know what it is.
My money is on someone like Raul Castro, a high level diplomatic level delegation from IRAN, or some other visitor of a highly sensitive nature.
Any world leaders have any unexplained absences that day?
