Suspicious package at Rush's home was an electronic plaque



Security staff for the iconic conservative talk show host found a package with an electronic plaque which they believed was suspicious and in turn contacted authorities, WPTV reported.

But the package, delivered to his North Ocean Boulevard home, was actually a "business opportunity" from a radio listener, a Palm Beach Police spokesman told The Palm Beach Post.

When the bomb squad opened the package at about 7 p.m., it saw that it contained an electronic plaque on President Abraham Lincoln's assassination, spokesman Fred Hess said.

Police were able to get in touch with the sender in Pennsylvania, who apologized for sending a package that could be construed as dangerous, according to WPTV.
