There was an actual building evacuation at my work place today. Someone had apparently left an Igloo cooler by the west entrance, and as a result we all had to haul ourselves out to the parking lot and the designated areas while the Phoenix Police bomb squad checked it out.

Fortunately, nothing bad was found and about an hour after we were evacuated, we were allowed back into the building. But what I wonder is...how much time had elapsed between the discovery of the abandoned cooler and the order to evacuate?

This inquiring mind wants to know.
