Did Boston learn nothing from the Mooninite invasion last month? Several news outlets are reporting (and by "news outlets" I mean Wonkette and other blogs):

Police Blow Up Suspicious Device In Boston
(WBZ) BOSTON There were some tense moments in Boston's financial district Wednesday morning as police were forced to blow up a suspicious device.

The bomb squad shut down busy Devonshire Street after someone spotted a green box chained to a no parking sign.

The box turned out to be some kind of traffic counting device and was completely harmless.

That little blurb is the only "real news" I could find on it, from wbztv.com

Um, and it's believed that those traffic counters were installed by the city. Not terrorists. Or stoned college kids.
