A conversation with a friend a few months ago:
"So-and-so is coming to speak at my university, but there was a bomb threat."
"What?"
"Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I think her talk is going to go on anyway, though."
"Can't the FBI do something?"
"Not really."
Apparently stuff like this happens a lot. It wasn't till then that it sunk in how pervasive the problem is. The bomb threat was apparently due to the speaker's public remarks about gamergate.

I don't know. Bad situation all around.
