Bomb threats!
Honest question: How often does someone plant a bomb, with the intention of it blowing up, then call in and warn people that the bomb is there?
I'm sure it may have happened a time or two, but I cannot remember any. I've always presumed that if a bomber were serious they'd purposely NOT warn people and just let it go off. Why take the chance it would be found and disarmed? And if it does go off the terror aspect is not diminished. :shrug: But, I'm sure the majority of the threats are made by ass wipe posers, who would probably only blow themselves up if they even tried to make a bomb.
The question is prompted by this story, of which a local school to me was one of those affected.
Of course, if we did stop acting, then I have no doubt someone would plant a real bomb then call, just because we stopped reacting, then we'd have fingers pointing all over the place. OMG, we are so effed up as a species.
Sorry, apparently I'm in a mood today.
