From CNN:

Rounding a corner on his motorcycle to finish rigging his cache, he was greeted by a barricade of police cars and a bomb squad. He struggled to explain the misunderstanding.

“I got off my bike and three officers approached me very cautiously, hands on their holsters,” he said. “I was trying to turn off my MP3 player and I think they were worried I was going for a detonator.”

I’m not sure which is worse: people automatically assuming a hidden container is the work of terrorists, or people dumb enough to put their geocaches in a place that could be considered terrorist targets. I thought this article was pretty interesting considering we’re just starting to get into Geocaching. I just hope places don’t start banning it – at least not in large areas. I guess that’s why you should always ask for permission before hiding one.
