Nationwide school shutdown today Waking up to this this morning. It's getting nuttier. http://www.wzzm13.com/new.../212502615 A wave of threats directed at schools across the nation forced authorities to lock down buildings or evacuate students. The threats, which appear to be driven by automated calls, have been directed at elementary, middle and high schools in states across at least four time zones. Some districts reported that the calls included a bomb threat while others just described the calls as "threatening." | |

This is the most bizarre story. And right after it, I saw on the news crawl that US companies want laws against robo-calling relaxed. SMH, talk about bad timing. | |

We just had a school shutdown of several schools a few months ago, now again. This does not happen here, it doesn't but it does. | |

When I was in high school kids would routinely call the school with phony bomb threats on Senior Prank Day but no one took them seriously. The only bombs I ever saw go off were smoke bombs thrown into bathroom waste baskets by pranksters... My, how the world has changed...
