The owner of the suitcase shows the police its contents.

Police determined that the "suspicious package" on Alumni Mall was harmless, and the area is now open for traffic.
The Virginia Tech Police were notified earlier on Friday about a suitcase that had been left by the Squires Eastbound bus stop.
A bomb-sniffing dog did not find anything threatening, but the State Police were brought in to x-ray it and determine conclusively, according to Kevin Foust, deputy chief of police and assistant director of security.
Investigators could not determine something in the x-ray, but the owner was "very cooperative" in working with the police, Foust said.
She opened the suitcase, and after that, the police concluded that it was not a threat.
Shortly before 2 p.m., police opened Alumni Mall for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

they need to put up signs about not leaving unattended suitcases/packages in that area.
