When was the last time you've been in a delivery and logistic's warehouse? Most of the new ones have the offices with a mezzanine overlooking the work floor about 4.5 meters above with glass windows.

I don't need to actually go inside one. A mezzanine doesn't cover the entire area does it?

I have never read so much rubbish over the last few pages.
Honestly there was a "credible threat" and the possible loss of life (how many lives, it doesn’t matter) and your debating the layout of a logistics warehouse and whether it has a mezzanine or not. Ok the press have exaggerated a bit like always - oh well - get over it - what do you expect them to do, say “there was a bomb, oh but it was harmless.” That’s going to sell !

What is a 'credible threat'?

and the possible loss of life

How possible?

It is possible that you won't wake up in the morning. Sleep well.

I would say any package that contained explosives is a 'credible threat.' Even if this one had little chance of actually exploding, there's also the chance it could have been set up to explode, bypassing security checks etc.

The possible loss of life that you yourself have been argueing over.

You too. Although I'll sure wake up in a much more positive way rather than good old cynical you.

If it has little chance of exploding then it shouldn't really be called a credible threat.

The possible loss of life that you yourself have been argueing over.

I know there was a 'possible loss of life' but just how possible was it? Very possible or remotely possible?

Just 'possible' is meaningless.

Why do you feel positive about media perpetuation of fear?
