I have a day off today because of terrorism. Yep. The glass that was supposed to be mounted on FM2 yesterday arrived from Copenhagen in a DHL shipment to JFK, and WTF are all these acronyms? Sorry, that just popped into my head. Anyway, the shipment with the glass was detained so the NYPD could inspect a "suspicious" package. Here is the scoop, in case you missed it:

MYFOXNY.COM - A suspicious package found at a DHL shipping facility at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City Wednesday evening turned out to be harmless, officials said.
The package was noticed at about 5:30 p.m., the Port Authority said. A source told Fox 5 that Customs agents wanted to take a closer look, so they called the Port Authority Police and the New York Police Department.
The NYPD said the package contained a cell phone and paperwork, the AP reported.
Officials said police undertook the investigation out of "an abundance of caution" to determine if the package was linked to any of the explosive devices placed on UPS and FedEx cargo planes last week in a Yemen-based terror plot, Fox News reported.
Passenger terminals at JFK were not affected by the investigation.
