FEMS reports a suspicious package in front of 1600 PA Ave NW (White House). The Secret Service are handling the situation (a Camera bag). The road closure is 1500 and 1600 Pa Ave NW at this time.
This just made me laugh. Really? 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is the White House? It’s only the most famous address in the country. It’s a camera bag, some tourist left their shit around! And, erm, nobody is surprised by the road closure at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, right? Because it’s kinda been closed a while now!

Lol that’s a good point, that street has been closed for quite a long time already. But, you know, they have to respond to a forgotten camera bag in this way just in case, right?

Haha. It’s funny how paranoid the secret service in Washington DC is. They kind of have to be though!
