SCRANTON, Pa. - A suspicious package found at the federal courthouse Saturday turned out to contain pornographic material and a note to Attorney General John Ashcroft, police said.
The briefcase-size box was examined by the bomb squad, which decided to destroy it.
The note suggested the package was dangerous, Sgt. Dave Benway said, adding that he expected charges to be filed.
Last year, two partially nude statutes in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice were covered up. A Justice Department (news - web sites) spokesman said it was done for aesthetic reasons, but there were reports that Ashcroft didn't like being photographed in front of them.
