LAFAYETTE, Colo. (AP) — Boulder authorities locked down a Lafayette charter school while they examined a duffel bag left at the campus parking lot that ended up containing a Kermit the Frog doll. Boulder County's bomb squad responded to the Peak to Peak Charter School after an employee there called at about 7:15 a.m. Wednesday to report the unattended bag. Authorities used a robot with movable arms and a camera to investigate the bag and then an officer inspected it to make sure it was safe.

Authorities cleared the scene at about 10 a.m. Students and staff were locked down until then in a campus building.

The charter school is for K-12 students.

I could understand if it was a Miss Piggy doll. After all she does tend to get violent when she doesn't get her way!!

It's sad when you can't leave anything lying around any more without it being considered a possible threat or act of terrorism!

Ah, maybe someday we'll find the rainbow connection and finally put all this fear and mistrust behind us!

That's a shame. No one trusts anyone any more.

Well, now there's something under the much-neglected "Robot Meets Muppet" category on the news.

Seriously, it is a sad state when we are so distrusting. But, in light of everything that's happened in the last eight years, and the open nature of our society, can anyone really blame them for being cautious?
