Suspicious package false alarm
"Suspicious item" on jet turns out to be part of plane's interior that is not normally visible.

What it didn't mention is that if I was hearing things correctly there were actually two turnouts to the airport this morning - the first was to the package, the second was to a 737-300 with 3 POB and a dead engine. Sounds sorta familiar ..........
