TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've worked for the Army for over 20 years, so I've experienced my share
of bomb threats. They come in clusters. We'll go years without one, then
have two or three in less than six months. They usually coincide with
internatonal tensions.
A bomb scare could be from an actual threat received (phone call, mail,
etc.) or because someone discovered a suspicious package or an abandoned
briefcase in the building.
You should *always* take them seriously. While most turn out to be a
hoax or an innocently left-behind package, the risk is just to great to
become complacent about it.
