一個小鎮(zhèn)居民為了蹭到免費的無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)引發(fā)了一場炸彈危機。家住Carlise小城三樓的一戶居民為了免費使用附近Bosler紀念圖書館的無線網(wǎng)絡(luò),在自家窗外放了一個無線路由,結(jié)果不慎掉在人行道上,被路人發(fā)現(xiàn),以為是炸彈報告了警察。四小時后,警察的拆彈專家小隊確認這個東西無害,經(jīng)過調(diào)查才最終確定這個包裹只是個無線路由。警察中尉表示,這件事不會作為犯罪記錄存檔。
A resident's attempt to get free wireless Internet was the cause of a bomb scare in downtown Carlisle late Tuesday, police said this afternoon.
Lt. Michael Dzezinski said an investigation showed that a "suspicious package" that authorities at first feared might be an explosive was in fact a wireless router in a container wrapped in tape with its antenna sticking out.
The device was found in the ground in the 100 block of West High Street around 6:30 p.m. Police closed nearby Dickinson Avenue where a state police explosives expert squad neutralized it four hours later.
Dzezinski said it was determined that a resident of a third-floor apartment had placed the router, wrapped to make it weatherproof, on a windowsill in an attempt to pick up free wireless Internet service from the nearby Bosler Memorial Library.
The device fell off the windowsill onto the sidewalk below where a witness found it and alerted police, he said. No criminal charges will be filed, Dzezinski said.
