NEW DELHI, India — A “device” was found on the lawn of the White House, President Barack Obama’s press secretary said Monday.
Josh Earnest confirmed the discovery during a briefing on Obama’s trip to India. He said the device did not pose any immediate threat.
He said the Secret Service would give further information — including where exactly the object was found, and what it was — as soon as possible.

Does Josh know that a “device” usually connotes a bomb or suspected bomb? Why would they use that term except to mislead?
