    That is how Amazon delivers half of our packages. Just look at the tracking number and compare to your account. It probably starts with TBA

    I've done this, and was expecting a delivery today. She even said "its an amazon package", but still too scared to open it. So, whoever is doing it in austin, is getting their desired outcome.

    I'm pretty sure you're okay since you're expecting an Amazon package.

    But if you're worried, you could always call the cops and they'll come and safely do a controlled explosion. But then your Amazon item will be destroyed and you'll request Amazon deliver another one. Thus repeating the cycle. But yay fireworks.

    You don't have anything to worry about. You don't live in Austin and you were expecting the package. No problems.

    Now open up the package and let us know what happens.

    We've already raided the heb and twin liquors. It's the equivalent of a winter storm warning or hurricane in the gulf

    I feel bad for the delivery guys, most of our **** is delivered by unmarked cars .the Amazon guy has a yellow vest but nothing else

    They need to catch this ****er soon .Sucks explaining to a 3rd grader what's going on.

    or they are really knowledgeable about explosives and are basically toying with the city. do some package-on-porch bombs which makes everyone scared of packages. then switch to trip wires on sidewalks. they probably will switch to something else next.

    the trip-wire takes it to a whole new level. im not walking my dog at night till this f*** is caught.

    I'm with your thinking on this .this guy is staying one step ahead at all times. He better not **** with kids walking to school . Hopefully he blows himself up soon

    I'll still go on my business as usual but I did remove some stuff from the front yard that the neighborhood kids play with .would be way to easy to put something in and a 4-10 year old walks right onto it .Sucks but once it crossed my mind I removed it. If it can happen in Travis country it can anywhere

    I live in north Austin. But I have already had to have a conversation with my 2nd grader. Perhaps this is the kind of **** that makes people say to stop moving here.

    Right, wonder if it is connected at all. Did they bring a package, or start mailing stuff via fedex? Crazy stuff if related.

    Then fedex has to wonder how many more of "those" packages they have. Can they safely deliver anything else?

    Sounds like the FedEx explosion was a package that originated in Austin and was destined for Austin, meaning that the carrier took it to the sorting facility before it exploded. The bomb probably had a different trigger, meaning it's the third different type used if it's the same person.



    Another suspicious package at the Austin airport's FedEx facility.

    I think they're saying it is related, at least per the latest update.

    FedEx and UPS will have to start a different screening process soon, especially if these packages are ending up at the hub or end distribution centers without the bombs being detected.

    Eventually the employees will get weary of doing their jobs if it means possibly losing a limp and at worst their lives.

    No terrorism nexus? What does that mean? This is terrorism.

    What is the White House going to say, btw, if they finally catch the guy and he's a Muslim ISIS bombmaker? All of a sudden, it will be terrorism in their eyes?
