There is some scuttle butt from some of the goon's I've been overhearing, It was a package with a planted scent/treat package that they use to train the bomb dogs. You can imagine what happened from there. I suspect it was a attendee playing a bad practical joke on DEF CON

There’s a lot of scuttlebutt aka rumor about the situation. There’s little value in idle speculation on this topic. There’s been no suggestion of this on the con internal staff channels that I can identify. Which makes me think it’s a BS suggestion.
