BOMB SCARE AT U.S. MINT IN DENVER

According to a Denver Post report published 15 May, "Denver police
bomb technicians rushed to the U.S. Mint [Tuesday] when a man passing
the building left a walkie-talkie that security guards mistook for
bomb.

"The unidentified man and a friend were handcuffed and detained while
a bomb technician in a green protective suit and helmet approached
the walkie-talkie.

"'The bomb squad disrupted it. It was not a bomb. It was not an
explosive device,' said U.S. Mint spokeswoman Ellen Casey.

"The bomb technicians finished their work within about 30 minutes,
and Mint officials returned to a staff meeting."
