I bet a lot of kids are just doing this to get an easy day off school.

Yup, they closed down the building that I do research in. I got an email that was all like, "Hello, please evacuate the building. Thank you." And then I was all like, "uh, okay."

True story.

I had 4 in my high school senior year, stop whining about it ya MIDDLE SCHOOLER.

If it was real, it would've just happened, instead of someone making an announcement about a threat over the school day.

There was a bomb that went off at my college a few years back. Not a big kill a bunch of people bomb though. Some guy was making a small bomb for some kind of idiot prank and it blew up in his hand. Idiot.

Back in my day at college we only had 1 bomb threat that got me out of class. Now I feel left out.

Change "a lot" to "every single one".

Heh, we never had bomb threats. You're schools must have a bunch of losers. I guess we have bigger things to worry about than copycat shooters or would-be bombers. Like ice days.

*shudders*

The horror... The horror.

Re: BOMB THREAT (at my school)

If you ask me, these kids making the bomb threats aren't observant enough. Once the fire department comes in and does their little two-minute check around the school, they should call the school again, and say "You haven't found it yet..."

Like Crimson Knight said, if it were real, the bomber wouldn't call in (it's entirely possible a tipster would call in, though). However, it's in every school's protocol to evacuate in case of a threat, which does make sense for the slight possibility that the threat is genuine.

We had at least half of dozen evacuations a year due to bomb threats (or actual gas leaks) at my high school, which I guess happens when you have over 5000 kids going there. There was one time I was very worried there was someone standing outside waiting to pick people off with a rifle or something; luckily, that just wasn't so.

I never had that problem when I went to school. I agree with wavelength on pretty much everything he said. This is such a violent world.

Re: BOMB THREAT (at my school)

Since the recent tragedy at Virginia, I can't help but feel a little concerned about what might happen at my university. Although they assure us that security and campus police will handle things, as well as the participation of the students, you never know.

Re: BOMB THREAT (at my school)

It ****es me off when people pull this ****. 2 days after 9/11 there was a bomb threat at my school. The jerk had to call it in at the last period.... I was never able to get my mountain dew that I was looking forward to all day. Worst birthday ever!
