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.

"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."

If it means that those cops won't be in non-rich neighborhoods and won't be needlessly rousting people for jaywalking on an empty street or for carrying personal-use amounts of substances, that sounds like a plus.
USA has too many cops, apparently with no serious crimes to attend to.
...but it's more likely that TPTB will just use it as an excuse to hire more useless cops.

it's a lot safer and profitable to prey on the weak or servile.
