Interesting story! I'm not sure if it's a red herring or a smoking gun. Or both? Time will tell.

KENT, Wash. - A business district was evacuated and emergency responders turned out in force after a suspicious device was found on a Metro bus Monday morning - but it turned out to be left over from an earlier bomb training exercise.
A passenger reported finding the unattended package and alerted authorities just after 7 a.m.
Officers responded to the scene and evacuated the bus. A bomb squad, two SWAT teams and two robots were called in as the entire business district at 240th Street and 104th on Kent's East Hill was evacuated as well.
Streets were closed in the area and bus service was rerouted. About three hours after the package was found, the air space over the bus also was closed off to aircraft, including news helicopters.
