I have only two words for you... "security theater".
You've already heard my opinions on the subject.

Great post!

Warning! Conspiracy theory: I wonder if this "bomb threat" was even real or was it orchestrated in order to create the right climate in which to take away more civil liberties.

I don't think that the bomb threat would need to be fabricated. Nor do I feel that this is part of a "master plan" by our government, though politicians would have to be pretty daft to not recognize this as a prime opportunity to expand programs and federal power with minimal resistance from people.

The matter remains that we're losing civil liberties at a rate faster than America has ever seen before because both politicians and citizens are ignoring the Constitution. Scary.

Yes, all wild and crazy conspiracy theories aside, they certainly know how to take advantage of a situation such as this one.
