Isn't that a redundant question; considering the newsroom people did, lol. Just goes to show you how paranoid everyone has become over the years.

Better "safe" than sorry? haha I kill me...

"Overreaction"? That's a pretty stupid comment. Did you think that through before writing it?
Would you expect that bombs delivered by couriers should "look like" bombs, and perhaps have a little courtesy note attached reading "Yes, I am a bomb"? Good grief!

@Mrguss some american gaming sites have banned the word bomb in chat.

(on topic)
people are paranoid in general caused by the media.I think in a way its an over reaction but they got a suspicious package and had it actually been a bomb the actions they took would of been correct.
A black safe and a message saying check your voice mail sounds more like extortion or blackmail rather than a bomb threat, well to me it does.

Most Americans & "West-Europe" are paranoid about the word bomb, I wonder why !?
After U.S. declared war to how many countries since 1812, in the name of the (Rich-Class) Capitalist Imperium.

Do you really think what the brain-wash Media tell to the people that those trying to hurt U.S. have jealousy of the way we live here in America: Where most of their people live in debt and drugs in this fake country.

Just saying.
