I think what's most likely is that "suspicious packages" are found daily in the United States, but the media only report on it now that something tragic has happened. Just adds to the paranoia.

It's particularly bad in Boston right now since thousands of people stashed bags of clothes in the blocks surrounding the finish line with the plan to change after the race before flying/driving home. Each one of those bags instantly became a "suspicious package" that must be dealt with as if it contains explosives. It turns out that the 3rd explosion yesterday was not a bomb, but the police had to detonate it as if it was.
