23. How many bombs have actually gone off?

That tells you whether or not the threats are real or hoaxes?

So, how many have gone off? How many other times have bomb threats actually been real?

I worked at DCA, Washington National Airport, from January 1969 to August 1979. In the middle years of that decade, there were boringly common bomb threats to the airport. How many of them resulted in bombs going off? Care to research it?

Zero.

Bomb threats are bullshit and should be ignored. Ignored, ignored. Do NOT pretend they are real, or something to care about. They are not. Ignore them.

Don't close the schools. Keep them open. No one, absolutely NO ONE is going to set off a bomb at the school.

Sadly, the chance of some 2nd amendment jerk stockpiling a lot of guns and taking them to the school and shooting . . . wait, wait, what am I saying? Remind me again how many schools are bombed compared to how many school shootings there are?
