Possible explosives at Harvard

It should be noted that this is happening in the middle of finals. I would lean heavily towards this being false threat by a student who didn't study.

A similar event happened last year at the University of Pittsburgh, although the threats went on for months.

You'd think a Harvard student would be smart enough to realize that the criminal consequences of such an act far outweigh the negatives of failing a test...

Common sense experiences a severe decline at most schools during finals.

That starts to happen, when you are halfway through your fifth red bull in an hour ;)

When I was in college, UVA '04, we had bomb threats regularly from desperate kids who wanted to cancel finals. MO was always someone used a pay phone, called the tip line, and exams got pushed a day in the building they were threatening. Eventually the pay phones got removed. Though I'm sure you could do a VOIP call these days and obfuscate your number? (I'm not sure how though)
