I don't recognize it, so it must be a bomb

(Why should the Faux News have all the good goof-ups?)  In IT, of course, we 
wouldn't make this mistake, since we work with things we know nothing about all 
the time.

An evacuation was launched on July 28 at Chase’s McCoy Center in Columbus 
when an employee reported a suspicious item in a conference room. The 
Columbus Fire Captain says it was a black box with lights, wires and a timer. A 
Chase spokesman says investigators eventually learned it was a timing device for 
use in presentations: the lights warn a speaker when it is time to wrap up.  

Followup risk:

Fire officials say during the evacuation, several people were overcome by summer 
heat in the parking lot and were treated by paramedics.
