 The suspicious bag -- containing a salad from a bagel shop -- prompted security guards at the downtown building to evacuate the office of Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato and close a main courthouse entrance. The lockdown Tuesday lasted about an hour.
The bag was found in a women's bathroom on a shelf under a sink. A sheriff's deputy arrived with a bomb-sniffing dog and quickly discovered there was nothing explosive about the salad.
"It was just strictly a precaution," County Manager Jim Flynn said. "I don't think it was a real threat."
