A suspicious package scare in Crystal City earlier this afternoon forced the evacuation of an office building located at 2100 Crystal Drive, according to several eyewitness accounts. Arlington County Police spokesperson Det. Crystal Nosal confirmed that the county's bomb squad destroyed the package, per standard procedure. Crystal Drive between 20th and 23rd Streets was closed during the investigation, but has since been reopened. One DCist reader wrote in to the tip line that he heard the detonation of the package at around 2 p.m. The incident has since been cleared.

Only thing that's missing is the Crystal City Restaurant, which where the suspicious package probably spent the morning.
I see suspicious packages all over the place in DC. What constitutes a "suspicious package"? Homeless people are constantly leaving random shit all over the place, and if you didn't know any better it could all be considered "suspicious", as these items are usually non-descript plastic bags/boxes. Hell if a terrorist really wanted to get something close to a good target, just act/look homeless and leave your "item" whereever you choose.
