No explosive news about Borders bombs

by

In the report below, a reporter from a Denver TV station conducts an on-air telephone interview — yep, she holds the phone up to her microphone — with authorities at the mall outside Denver where two “devices” and one “item” were found over the weekend in a Borders store. They tell her she, unlike the general public, can not come into the mall to speak to anyone because, presumably (she doesn’t ask), it would disrupt shopping. Amazingly, she’s cool with this. “Malls can be like that,” she explains.

Meanwhile, the FBI wouldn’t talk to her either. But an anonymous source tells her Borders staffers — who weren’t allowed to speak with her either — were shown a photo of a customer at a nearby Target taken by surveillance cameras. Beyond that, while it contains absolutely no news, the clip is worth watching for the latest in TV reporter fashions.
