They just said in the CNN Live Broadcast that some of the packages did in fact "intend to do harm". But they can't say just yet (according to broadcast) how the packages are tied to a wider plot.
Does that mean they were actual bombs or just props to instill fear?
UPDATE: Sounds like they were in fact bombs in packages about the size of a shoebox.edit on 29-10-2010 by harrytuttle because: update

This could definitely be a dry run considering the fake device on the toner cartridge. As the picture below shows, the device was homemade and intended to cause concern. The device looks like someone mounted the inside of a cell phone to the cartridge.

Hour and 15 according to the boob toob...

According to Shep on Fox the Feds are saying that there's nothing going on with it and there is no threat.....
Why the escort, and if this plane contains no threat, why is it being brought in with a choreographed media presence?
Something ain't addin' up here. We aren't getting the entire picture.
Fighter escorts are not a normal everyday thing, for them to treat this whole thing as routine is what has me so off guard.....

I don't think they can't track where the package came from, all the way down to the delivery site it was sent off from, (i'm talkin the actual shipping store, or postal drop-off", and they don't already have pictures of security cam footage of the man who dropped it off...
We constantly tell eachother to watch out for scare tactics, but we often forget to tell eachother that the mass-media is heavily restricted to reveal any information that the GOVT doesn't want released, whether it be free will or a forceful tactic of authority used.
Right now, I'm willing to bet there's already a black ops team in Yemen, doing the research, loading the weapons, and a preparing to take someone out, after a nice long torture-filled interrogation about who helped, who planned, and a who started it...
That IS... if it was a REAL terrorist plotedit on 29-10-2010 by Shikamaru because: Added the last tidbit beacuse the mind does wander...

Brennans press brief leaves little doubt that the clandestine services have been involved in this for a while and have some deep ops going on....

Or maybe AQ did actually plan an attack today and our government thwarted that attack. Maybe because of 9/11, the gathering of intelligence has become more intense and selective. Maybe the election date is not a conincidence because of sinister reasons, but something deliberate on behalf of AQ. Maybe many senior people in various organisations around the world spend many many man-hours keeping their citizens safe, only to be accused of organising the very events that they dread happening to their citizens.
