| #4 False alarm -- "Lost Woman Causes Quite The Stir At Canadian Border" picked off http://www.komotv.com/stories/ "A 28-year-old woman from Houston, whose husband is stationed at Fort Lewis, got in her husband's car at the base near Tacoma to head to Vancouver, Washington -- about 2 1/2 hours south of the base. Unfortunately, she somehow began heading north toward Vancouver, B.C. instead. She was unaware that she was going the wrong way until she reached the Canadian border around 1 o'clock. There, Canadian Customs officials found what looked like a grenade in her glove compartment. They immediately closed down the border in both directions and rerouted traffic to the Pacific Highway crossing while explosives teams were called in. It appears the grenade was not active and might have been an old military dummy/souvenir grenade. Canadian officials were detaining the woman for questioning but it appears to just be a big mistake and no charges were likely to be filed. " I just hope her first name wasn't Amina or Fatima. |
