Having a bomb is one thing you don't want to joke about on a military base. That's the lesson a FedEx driver is learning the hard way.

Prosecutors in Utah are charging the delivery man with making a threat of terrorism. Authorities say he was dropping off a package at Camp Williams, an Army base. According to prosecutors, a woman asked what it was and he said probably a bomb. Military police weren't laughing.

More than 200 people were evacuated from the area while MPs investigated.
