A conversation with a friend a few months ago:<p>&quot;So-and-so is coming to speak at my university, but there was a bomb threat.&quot;<p>&quot;What?&quot;<p>&quot;Yeah, it&#x27;s pretty crazy. I think her talk is going to go on anyway, though.&quot;<p>&quot;Can&#x27;t the FBI do something?&quot;<p>&quot;Not really.&quot;<p>Apparently stuff like this happens a lot.  It wasn&#x27;t till then that it sunk in how pervasive the problem is.  The bomb threat was apparently due to the speaker&#x27;s public remarks about gamergate.<p>I don&#x27;t know.  Bad situation all around.
