A major bomb scare in a New York City subway station ended with the discovery that the suspicious devices were merely abandoned rice cookers, not pressure cooker bombs. A suspect was taken into custody, though no charges were immediately filed. Observers noted that the individual appeared to have physical disabilities, and the incident was dismissed by the hosts as a "bullcrap story" that caused unnecessary panic.
