You may have heard by now of multiple devices, likely related/similar to that sent to George Soros, that were discovered near the Clintons’ house and Obama’s office. October surprise?
Here is the Secret Service statement.

I agree with Philippe. It is also on all the morons who circulated Hillary’s home address online. I know that it is “findable,” however advertising it made it so much easier to access.
It is not clear what “in the vicinity” means. (Probably for the best.) According to the statement this was a routine screening.
The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating after a suspicious package was found "in the vicinity" of the Clintons' Chappaqua, New York, home. A suspicious package addressed to former President Obama was also intercepted in Washington, DC. https://t.co/yr4JwHOZXA
The device sent to Time Warner Center was constructed with a pipe and wires, according to an NYPD source. Law enforcement authorities are treating the device as a real explosive. The device was discovered in the mailroom of Time Warner Center in New York. https://t.co/iIxKk6HUko
Senior law-enforcement officials confirmed the bomb scares, including a ‘pipe with wires’ mailed to CNN‘s headquarters in New York.

U.S Secret Service agents intercepted potential explosive devices on Wednesday that were addressed to president Barack Obama and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, the agency confirmed.
As federal agents investigated the packages, authorities in New York dispatched bomb squads to the Time Warner Center in midtown Manhattan, home to CNN’s headquarters, where the building was being evacuated. Senior law-enforcement officials confirmed to The Daily Beast that a suspicious device—described as a “pipe with wires”—was found in the mailroom.
A suspicious package addressed to to the Clinton’s suburban home in New York late Tuesday night and a separate parcel addressed to the Obama’s residence in Washington, D.C., were both intercepted Wednesday morning at designated checkpoints, authorities confirmed.

Thank you to the @SecretService and all law enforcement agencies who responded to this week's incidents. They work tirelessly to keep our country and communities safe. I am forever grateful for their efforts.
I think “in the vicinity” refers to location where Secret Service screens all Clinton mail headed for their home. As I understand it, the package was specifically addressed to Hillary with no mention of Bill. Also, the package sent to CNN was addressed to former CIA Director, John Brennan, a frequent target of Donald Trump, who sometimes comments on CNN.
We should all be very grateful that none of the intended targets were injured, maimed, or killed. I am old enough to remember the Unabomber and the terror he unleashed. Unfortunately, I don’t expect any change in Trump’s deplorable rhetoric and behavior.
Also, I should mention it’s a blessing that none of the devices went off b4 reaching targets, perhaps gravely injuring postal workers, Secret Service and others. Think of the number of people put in harm’s way by this conduct. I know the perp simply doesn’t care.

@U.S. Senate: Time to ratify LOST!
"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway

Correct. Mail is screened at a separate location. Same for the Obamas. Yes, the CNN packet was addressed to Brennan with his name misspelled.

I also remember the Unabomber. A man in a nearby town was killed by one of his bombs.
Neither do I expect any change in Trump’s rhetoric or behavior.
