Yeah, funny story,...So one afternoon after my shift ended, I ,and several hundred BMWMC employees, start the long walk to the parking lot, to get in the car, and go home. We are met by BMWMC security, (red shirted personnel wearing khaki coloured trousers, none of them looked over thirty), and are told that we should return to the building. Some employees push their way past these "security personnel" and get in their cars and leave. We are informed by management that there is a "bomb" in the parking lot, and when the bomb squad deposes of the device, we may go home. I phone my wife and tell her to come get me at another entrance that is not under threat. The remaining employees are kept for several hours until the "bomb" is determined to be Hayward Pool Sand Filter container. It turns out that an associate on A shift sold it to another associate on B shift. The first associate left it behind the car of the second associate where it was observed by security. The Spartanburg County Sheriff was called and after they arrived on site, confirmed that it was a bomb, (even though it was not). A lot of valuable time wasted for a lot of people.
