Police Presence on Sproul
I got this report from a reader. Anyone know anything about it?

When I left my final from Dwinelle at about 7:15pm on Monday the 16th, Sproul Plaza from the administration building steps all the way to Dwinelle Plaza was completely closed off by a police line, and there were UCPD officers guarding it. Also there were a few UCPD squad cars racing from Southside to Sproul Plaza. When I went there at about 4:45pm it was open like normal.

Anyone know what happened?

*Update* A commenter says it was a suspicious package. [Someone make a witty, yet dirty joke referencing a "suspicious package" in comments, please.]
Second Update: From Allen-Somebody who says they work for UCPD made a comment in the UCB Livejournal Community that has a few more details.

the package itself was not suspicious but the manner in which is was called in was, that's why they took all precautions[...] the bomb squad x-rayed it and found out what was in it[...] aluminum cans, very exciting
