A suspicious package that turned out to contain horse manure sparked a bomb scare near the Los Angeles home of US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, reports say.

The gift-wrapped manure was found at 19:40 (03:40 GMT) at the home next to Mr Mnuchin's in Bel-Air, police said.

Police cleared the package an hour later and the Secret Service is investigating, CBS said.

There were a lot of frustrated neighbors. Including Zsa Zsa Gabor's widower.

"We have $50 million homes and we can't move, we can't get out," Prince Frederick von Anhalt, who was trapped for two hours, said. "That's bad, they have to find another way."

    I was coming to say the same thing. For that price, I'd imagine their home is more like a freaking hotel. Walk to a different wing....
    Or maybe get your private helicopter to pick you up in the back yard.

    Trust me, helicopters are a MUST. Especially now when our 757s are having so many problems, the hacking of their radio cyber. Which I read about on SoylentNews. In many ways it's a DISASTER, but there are so many interesting things here.

    I'll tell you, the White House is a DUMP. Staying there is a serious downgrade to our lifestyle. And Air Force One, also a downgrade. I thought it was a downgrade. I have a 757 of my own, Air Force One is only a 747. Which is 10 less. But it turns out the 757 has bad cyber in its radio. So hackers can take it over very easily. Which just came out in the news in the last few days. A lot is happening in the world! But I'm OK because I travel on a 747 now. It's very old but it's better than the new one. Something to think about! And we bought some more 747s, to replace the old ones I'm using for Air Force One. Dennis from Boeing had them sitting in the desert in California. Just sitting! And we got a great deal, folks. I got a great deal on them because Aeroflot didn't want them. Obama ordered two very expensive 747s, I canceled that and got these instead. Fantastic!
