How we Reacted to the Unexpected 75 Years Ago
A 1934 story from the International Herald Tribune:
Dynamite Found On Track
SPOKANE Discovery of a box of useless dynamite on the railway track two and a half miles southwest of this city led to special precautions being taken to guard the line over which President Roosevelt’s train passed this morning [August 4] en route to Washington. Six deputy sheriffs guarded the section of the line near which the discovery was made. The President’s train passed safely at 10 a.m. Officials are skeptical about the dynamite having any connection with a possible plot against the President.
Imagine if the same thing happened today.

Quick clarification, in case it is not clear from the title (the formatting is a little misleading) the story is from 1934, not that there was dynamite from 1934 found recently.
