Phone threats are hardly a big deal.

I wonder why the actual damn color coded thing hasn't changed yet. Seems like stuff is going on all over.

Even if it's a haox, it's good to practice evacuation.

The Washington Monument was evacuated Friday after a bomb threat was called in to local police.

U.S. Park Police Sgt. Scott Fear said the call came in at 2:24 p.m. EDT and the monument was evacuated a short time later. An initial search turned up nothing worrisome.

The first hint that this is a hoax is that AQ et.al doesn't give specific warnings.

Why would anyone who actually wanted to bomb something, phone in to tell the authorities they are going to bomb it? If the point is to kill people with a bomb, doesn't that defeat the purpose?

NB that The Stones Concert last night at UVa was disrupted for an hour after a bomb threat. The tour is called "Bigger Bang."
