Obligatory:
I have to wonder how this happened. Somebody obviously wasn’t talking to somebody else (or rather multiple somebodies weren’t), but you’d think a whole lot of people at the station would know what the box was*. It seems like a random member of the public, who didn’t know what was going on, reported it to other people who weren’t connected to the station, and anyone who knew anything at the station was entirely cut out of the conversation.
*I suppose the alternative is that whoever installed the “security device” did so practically in secrecy and with an ironic disregard for security.
