investigated. we have a dozen suspicious packages. two more found just this morning. one addressed to democratic senator cory booker and to james clapper who is a contributor here at cnn which was evacuated the other day in new york when a package addressed to the former cia director came to cnn. he is a contributor on another network. take us through this sense of relief, obviously, in the fbi and the other agencies that they believe they have their suspect. they want to go through the evidence, if you will. what now? there is a sense of relief, but you are moving to an urgent task. who else might be involve and are there still packages at large? that's a key part of that and matching more evidence to be able to link every possible device. another reason for not affecting the rest, you would have 15 agents trampling the inside of a house that is a crime scene and might be booby trapped. that house is a crime scene and it's pristine and they can take their time again in the home that will match the packages in custody right now. that's a good reason. they will continue with that. continue with the examinations of whether he was on soci
