The follow-up announcement that we were in no danger had all the classic
ear-marks of a media that was almost on the verge of panic that they may
have set off a nation-wide epidemic of panic. The announcer had sweat on
his brow, and was almost pleading in his demeanor.  Rather amusing, from
my point of view.
