If I had put a bunch of suspicious looking electronic devices all over Boston, I would be roting in prison right now. For Turner Broadcasting it's just another business expense. They settled with the city of Boston for $2 million. The first million covered the expenses of emergency responders caused by the bomb scare and the second million was for good will.
If you haven't been following the story, the problem came from dozens of electronic gadgets with LEDs blinking on them that Cartoon Network (a Turner Company) had plastered across Boston as a PR gimmick for a new adult cartoon show. People saw the suspicious devices and what ensued was a full scale post 9/11 panic. Bomb squads blew at least one of them up and the others shut down traffic and businesses for hours.
The moral of the story...if you have money, you can do anything you want.
