Hope. Change. Explosives.
I'm hoping this is a hoax:
A Massachusetts man stopped by police along the New Jersey Turnpike amid a suspicion that he was taking explosives to Washington, D.C., prompted a 25-mile closure of the highway east of Philadelphia on Tuesday evening.At about 6:30 p.m., New Jersey State Police closed the turnpike at exit 1 through exit 4 as a precaution. State troopers, FBI agents and turnpike officials continued to investigate along the highway that leads south to Washington.
New Jersey State Police spokesman Sgt. Stephen Jones said troopers took a 27-year-old man into custody following a car stop in the southbound lanes of the turnpike near Exit 3 in Woodbury Heights.
Know who this benefits?
Mitt Romney.
Update: false alarm.

Sounds like someone who didn't like him called in a bum tip. Or maybe he was running his mouth about things he was supposedly going to do and someone found it a bit disturbing.
I'm eagerly awaiting the details which will explain why it took me 3 1/2 hours to get home last night.
