 Why is there an uncureable need to call in bomb threats? Once or twice is not bad, but after three or four go-arounds with having to hear those God-forsaken bells [that, sadly, no one at the High School takes seriously any more] it becomes quite annoying.

 When there is an actual bomb at the school, there will be no threats. There will be a bomb at the school, and no one will know any better... and then, when you are least expecting it... *BOOM* ... no more [fill in the blank with whatever building you believe some idiot would use a bomb on to kill a certain fraction of the student/teacher population]. If there were an actual bomb on school premises... why would the 'bomber' risk calling in a threat? If in fact the police have to come and investigate the bomb threat [which says to me, "They didn't suspect anything suspicious? Isn't that their job in the first place? Why must they investigate something that they are supposed to be keeping a close eye out for?"] and trace the phone call to see where the person called from, you have a more likely chance of being caught.

 If there was an actual bomb in existence... it would kill us all [or a fraction of us, anyway] and there would be no threat. It would happen in an instant, without warning. One minute you are walking to class, conversing with friends, and in an instant, a blink of an eye, your life is torn apart by some one that wanted to bomb the school. There will be no warning of it, you won't know. No one will, except the person that has planned it.
