"They suspected it was a bomb so they put the package into an empty room and
called the police," said a police spokesman. "It was supposed to respond to
wetness with bleeping sounds but this one ticked."
Two squad cars rushed to the scene and immediately contacted the sender.
Police gave the all clear after they contacted the woman who told them the
intercepted package contained only a malfunctioning diaper.
