A suspicious package that fell from the sky over New Jersey caused some alarm because it contained a note that mentioned President Donald Trump.
South Brunswick police say the package, attached to a parachute, was making a hissing sound and included a note that said:

...NOT A BOMB...
Tells me the kid knew it could have been interpreted as such. A visit from the Secret Service should be able to determine what his intentions were.
Removing the student for this is absurd.
A serious talking to should have been sufficient.
Nasty bow to political correctness.
FIRED the intern?? I would have offered him a permanent position and a promotion.
Jesus, doesn’t anyone have a sense of humor any more?
People need to relax.
It should have been marked so anyone finding it could have called Nasa and told them to come pick up their hissing box.
It would have been funnier if someone wrote they were sick of these m-f’in snakes on the plane.
and confused about sex.
I spend a lot of time around high school and college kids. They are not confused about sex. It is just about all they think about.
Firing the Kid is ridiculous, but writing “Not a Bomb” would make you think it was a Bomb. Kind of a Pink Elephant thing.
Reminds me of Leftists making a Law that the Tip of a Toy Gun has to be panted bright Orange to prevent someone being accidentally Shot by the Police.
If I am a Criminal, why wouldn’t I do the same to a real Firearm to give myself an advantage if I ran into a Cop?
After the first one near Roswell in '47.
Atmospheric tests of that nature via balloons are done all the time.........
So you want to fire the kid for the experiment or for attaching a humorous note to it?
FWIW, as a kid in northern Michigan, i once found a note attached to a deflated balloon lying in a field. It was launched by a grade school kid from a school in Wisconsin and asked that if found, send it back to him with the location of where it was found.
I thought it was a hoax so I contacted the Secret Service who said they would warn the president..../s
A dry run?!
yes
I don’t find it that funny either.
Then a message that said "All your base are belong to us" should have put this country on Def Con 4...............
Umm, the golfer in chief left office on
20 Jan 2017.
I thought that too - proof of concept. Also, get people used to thinking that packages drifting down from the sky are probably “another little note from a fan” until one drifts down that isn’t.
America is soooooo stupid. Why would this cause panic at all? Give me a break!
