Bomb threats are a dime a dozen. Nearly all are bogus, someone screwing with the authorities. Yes they have to be checked out just in case but I'm not going to worry all the time when I go some where. In the mid 70's I worked as the desk sergeant for the military police in Germany. The local American high school had a bomb threat every day for a week just after lunch. We had to dispatch MPs to the school along with the fire department to do a search. It got the kids out of class and probably some tests. The principal at the beginning of the next school week announced that any school time missed due to bomb threats would be made up on the week ends and during summer vacation if necessary. Guess what, the bomb threats stopped happening.
Certain people get their jollies doing these sort of things.
