bomb threat
Has a bomb threat ever resulted in a bomb being found?
Yes
The IRA used to do it. And there was the University of Wisconsin explosion in 1970. OK, kind of rare.
And don't forget
And don't forget those Weathermen / Weather Underground scumbags.
Los Palmas Airport 1977
One bomb went off, a second one was discovered.
All flights were diverted to Tenerife, a much smaller airport. This diversion was the first in a chain of events that resulted in the collision of two fully loaded 747s on the runway at Tenerife, still the worst airline disaster on record.
The News & Observer office
The News & Observer office got one here in Raleigh. Was this a coordinated wingnut effort?
Haha
Jump right to pointing the finger, typical. They've been reported all across the country.
It's more likely a tech savvy moronic teen, similar to the last one of its size. Which was hailed as anti-Semitic only to find out it was a US-Israeli Jewish teen.

But wingnuts....
Pot and/or kettle?
Are you complaining about finger pointing aimed at one group by pointing your finger at a different group?
"savvy moronic teen"
Is an individual, not a group.
Spam, actually
Krebs has a good writeup here
So in the end
the only crime the MSP can definitively report is their own vast defrauding of the taxpayers through false overtime claims.
MSP have problems
but this is a real bomb threat, which needs to be dealt with. This is a crime.
They should let the professionals deal with it then
Maybe call the ATF, FBI or something.
You mean like
the partner agencies at local and federal level as stated in the original post?
Exactly!
You know, organizations with a proven track record of serving and protecting the public. Unlike the MSP.
