If this turns out to be a hoax

Of course it's a hoax. Terrorists don't give advance warnings when they're going to do something... that wouldn't make any sense at all.

Kid's will be able now to keep schools closed indefinitely by simply emailing in dumb threats every day.

Hoax meaning it’s not a credible terrorist threat or otherwise.

Btw, some threats we hear about have been from leaked intel. So it’s not always the terrorist themselves intentionally providing a warning.

It seems in this case, the school officials might have a lot of explaining to do if they did not consult or take the advice of the LAPD and FBI.

That would be a colossal screw up..

Back in ‘69 or ‘70 had a bomb threat at high school. FBI came out. Didn't close the school. They poked around awhile and that was that. I was in the office about a week later and our ass’t principal picked up the phone. “Oh year, well go ahead.”
That was how he handled the bomb threat. No bomb of course. I was laughing my ass off. Of course times are different. I can somewhat understand the concern now. Nothing even like that happened back then.
