LAFAYETTE, Colo. (AP) -- Boulder authorities locked down a Lafayette charter school while they examined a duffel bag left at the campus parking lot that ended up containing a Kermit the Frog doll. Boulder County's bomb squad responded to the Peak to Peak Charter School after an employee there called at about 7:15 a.m. Wednesday to report the unattended bag. Authorities used a robot with movable arms and a camera to investigate the bag and then an officer inspected it to make sure it was safe.

I guess in a way this story is funny but really it is just a sad reminder of the state of our world. I can't blame them for being overly cautious, it just sucks that we have to be afraid of someone blowing up our kids.
