Bombs away?

On a serious note:

My PWI been threatened twice in the past week with bomb threats to major academic buildings. With the removal of computers from the residence halls, the money saved can and should be used by the University to say...uhm... install a tracking device or hire somebody to find out where these email threats are coming from. I mean really, if somebody downloads a song, there's a slip delivered to the person in a timely manner usually given to your RA or attached to your door for added embarrassment. Let's up the standard PWI. I can already find the names, phone numbers, and addresses of the adoptive step-parent of every PWI student here using your handy-dandy directory *In my best blue's clues voice*, so I might as well be able to find their IP Address as well, huh?

I would feel much safer if only I didn't receive an email about these bomb threats. Let's use the sirens as an all purpose means of communication since we NEVER have severe weather. How about only sound the siren in the case of bomb threats, fires, earthquakes and increases in tuition, fees or gas prices? And not necessarily in that order. Are we really inside _____(insert name of PWI) when we receive these emails? No. Matter of fact I feel more outside than anything. "Hey student, there was a fire in the chemistry lab last night. We only had 30 lbs of Sodium stored next to a jug of water, but believe me, you guys were perfectly safe." Really? That's how you feel?

Listen, the next time I get an email about a bomb threat, I will probably send it straight to the trash can. Why? Because by the time I actually get it, the bomb would have probably went off, while I am in class because nobody delays for anything but snow under the Mason-Dixon line. But lo and behold, this is also the school who wouldn't give the students Labor day off- that is until ESPN wanted to film and decided to take away one of our fall break holidays, which we desperately need back. By the time fall break hits, I am ready to kill myself- days away from my birthday- because of school related stress.

Yay for football season? Boo to the idiots who sends bomb threats through email. Oh yeah, and I am thinking that repetitive bomb threats to a public institution is a matter for a higher level of government than the local police to investigate, don't you all agree? Maybe it's linked to the recent mistake of the financial aid dept. Maybe it's to discourage our School pride at the football game tonight. The world may never know.

'Tis All.
