Yep, again...sigh. When I searched I saw that this happened less than a week ago (Oct 7).

Looks like the pranksterists are in reruns already.

Anyone, young old, male, female, foreign or dometic, can easily make a bomb threat.

It's starting to feel like "Groundhog Day" on FR. I know this must be a new bomb threat. But I just read about SW airlines bumping a passenger for her t-shirt and that one was news a week ago.

I really don't think the Washington Monument would be a real high priority for terrorists - relatively few casualties, minimal economic impact, and not even a particularly high symbolic level. A plane flying into the Capital Dome or the White House would have been an entirely different matter . . .

Someone really didn't agree w/that choice of field trip destinations...

Unfortunately they probably will. That is human nature I'm afraid.
