So I probably should have mentioned in yesterdays blog about there being a bomb threat on campus yesterday. 4 buildings were named in an anonymous tip off sent to the FBI in Washington. So those buildings were evacuated and police and everything there. I didn't get to campus til a few hours after the initial warnings but my class was still on as it was a little away from that area.
Had a good discussion about it in my homeland security class today since it's something relevant that happened close to home. Our teacher reckons that the fact that, even though no packages, etc were found and the buildings were re-opened later in the evening, if it were a student messing around as a prank then they would have named the person sending the tipoff. The fact that they haven't made our teacher think that it did come from someone meaning to do harm but this was just a test to see how the university and officials reacted in this scenario. Scary thought but no one really has been informed if there really was a serious intent behind it or if it was just a false claim and totally harmless...
