DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – The Mockingbird DART station and the surrounding area, including the Angelika Theater, were evacuated Saturday after a police dog alerted authorities to a passenger onboard with two suspicious packages, a spokesman said.
Riders traveling through downtown stations reportedly expressed alarm after a man asked them for help carrying a duffel bag and a large box.
Bomb technicians with the Dallas Police Department determined the packages were not a threat about two hours after the evacuation, said DART spokesman Morgan Lyons.
“He was actually trying to pay people to help him get packages on and off the train,” Lyons said.
The man with the packages remained with DPD through the afternoon, though he was not arrested.
“Inconvenient for sure, but we’re all okay – and that’s what matters,” said Kim Speer, who was attempting to return home with her two children.
Red and Blue Lines were affected, and passengers were rerouted to other stops and connected with buses. The Mockingbird station was reopened around 5 p.m. Saturday.
Nationwide, transit systems have been on high alert because of fears al Quaeda could retaliate for the death of Osama Bin Laden. Here in North Texas, the NBA playoffs have had heightened security at the American Airlines Center.
The FBI is also investigating suspicious letters with a Dallas postmark found at Washington D.C. area schools. They are similar to other letters sent to D.C. schools this week containing a white powder.
One of them referenced al Qaeda .
“The customers are aware of what’s going on in the world. We’re aware of what’s going on in the world,” said Lyons.
Like the power laced letters, the package at Mockingbird station was found to be harmless.
Still, no one at all seemed to mind the dose of extra caution.
“We live in a major metroplex, so you never know what’s going to happen. Better safe than sorry,” said Speer.

Fantastic! I LOVE this stuff! (so does my daughter!)By C. Britt
My just turned 4 year old daughter will NOT, I repeat NOT, eat fruit of any kind. The last time she ate fruit was baby food. No joke. She has food aversions, texture issues, temperature issues, pickiness issues, and has been in feeding therapy for 1.5 years. She won't drink water unless it's purified (she can tell the difference). I mean this is serious stuff.
I bought one of these and gave it to her, explained that it was baby food consistency but wasn't baby food, and was fruit (didn't lie to her) but wasn't a cold smoothie like the kind Mommy makes (which she does NOT like).
She slurped the whole thing down! Tears came to my eyes I was so shocked and excited. This whole feeding drama is very trying on my patience and I worry so often that she will have long-term problems.
She has been devouring them ever since! This as well as The Red One. I cannot believe that she is "eating" fruit!!! I am forever a loyal buyer of Ella's Kitchen products. When my son is ready for solids, I will feed him Ella's baby food. I cannot tell you how thankful and happy I am to finally get fruit in my daughter's belly!

Easy way to eat fruitBy C.O.
Where to use these:
1. Kid's lunches instead of fresh fruit
2. Your lunch for work
3. Stash some in the car for a healthy snack
4. Road trips
5. Vacations
6. Flights (note the size allows it on the airplane)
7. The beach
Real fruit. Nothing else. Tastes good.

This poor man was actually offering to PAY for assistance !
ReplyDeleteLife in general is risky business and MY America wasn't built on fear.
I would much rather die while trying to help a perfect stranger than get killed running away from trouble.
What a PATHETIC picture of America this paints. Next we'll be detaining little old ladies carrying boxes of cookies and women pushing baby carriages. We have spinal problems NO orthopedic surgeon in the world could cure, absolutely sickening.
