My officemate and I spent part of yesterday afternoon watching the back-up of traffic as cars were detoured away from the Mass Ave Bridge, which is like, a few hundred yards from my office. We had no idea at that point what was actually going on (we did know it was a hoax and for a moment, were wondering if it wasn't a hack.)

I think it's ridiculous that Turner didn't just request the freakin' permits. On top of that, they were placed under bridges. Why would anyone think that's a good idea? Ugh. They couldn't have anticipated the faux pipe bomb scare occurring the same day the lite brites were discovered, but use some common sense.

Thankfully I didn't encounter any delays on the commute home. I would've been seriously pissed if I had.
