Did the package like roll up to the cockpit on approach? Seems to be some missing info in the story.

FoxNews reporting suspicious packages on 2 UPS planes, 1 in PHL and 1 in EWR. State that both planes are "quarantined". Possibly radiologically related!

more info from that great Network CNN.

'Those people tested negative for hazardous materials, officials said. They would not say what type of material may be involved.'
