Don't be alarmed, Reston Town Center shoppers, the people bombing the bus today aren't actually bombing the bus. They're only pretend bombing for testing purposes.

Nevertheless, don't pry too much into what's going on -- they're with the FBI.

The agency is working with Rocket Media Group to make a video that gauges how helpful security cameras can be in locating the perpetrators in small-scale terrorist attacks, The Post reported.

The video will feature footage of someone planting a simulated bomb on a Fairfax Connector bus.

Filming began at 9 a.m. and will continue until about 5 p.m.
