Bomb Expert ‘Disarms’ Noisy Tummy Trimmer

FT. PIERCE, Fla. — Postal employees concerned about a package that was vibrating and making an odd noise called the bomb squad. When a bomb technician opened it, he found a waist massager, the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office reported Thursday.

“I think it’s actually a weight reducer. It contains two batteries and, somehow or other, it got turned on after it got to the post office. I switched it off, took the batteries out and, lo and behold, I disarmed it,” Sheriff’s Sgt. Harvey Sharpe said.
