That happens more often than you'd think. I saw the tower evacuated in 2002. I also saw anti-terror and firefighting drills on it. It's quite a sight to watch someone rappel down the tower from the top. It's almost as tall as the Empire State Building.
Hope it turns out to be nothing, but with recent events .... ?
I hope that's all it is. But if not ... you know the cons here will blame Obama for not doing something to prevent it. Even after all those pages of mouth-frothing we had over him being "weak" and "covering up scandals" by issuing those terror alerts.
Honestly.
I was never a fan of Bush's continual feeding into the fear, practically every day, but I really do believe we know something right now. And it scares the crap out of me.

Why are you fearful?
It is out of your control so you mine as well just go on with your life.

Yeah, sure. You don't have a daughter about to leave for study abroad. I like to think that Australia is not on any terror group's radar, but that's what the parents of everyone killed abroad ever said, too.
I know most here can't read French, but according to this article the tower was reopened to the public at 4:30pm local time (7 hours ahead of us here in the Central time zone) after a police search.
