Oh, noes! Quick!
Surround the homes of decent, law-abiding, tax-paying, and honorable people and strip them of Constitutional rights.

What level of punishment, should the terrorist that issued the threat, be sentenced to?

5, 10, 15, 20 years? Bread and water, hard labor?

I’ve been through this twice in my life. Once in high school and once when working at a clinic. There would be evacuations for the first 3 threats called in to kill everyone with many hours of time wasted. After that the threats were ignored. The kid making the threats in high schools (he didn’t like taking tests) was eventually caught and expelled and the disgruntled ex-employee from the clinic was caught and served several years in federal prison.

A long, long, long time ago, when I was young enough to be in college, a fellow student that I knew called in a bomb threat to one of the university buildings because he didn't want to take a test. The administrator figured out that it was a student and ignored the "threat." Times have changed.

If I was PAYING to go to school there, I might consider suing for classes being canceled.

They have mid term tests this week and have a four day weekend this weekend. Someone didn’t study and wants the whole week off.
