Current Event: Spate of Bomb Threats Annoys Pittsburgh Students

        Since February, the University of Pittsburgh has had over 50 bomb threats that were all false alarms. These threats have continuously disrupted the university campus. About 29000 students attend the university, and each threat is followed by an evacuation. The campus has had to tighten security, but they are still receiving threats.
        I think it is crazy that someone is sending bomb threats to this school just to cause a scene. I definitely think it is good that the school has tightened security just to be safe. I think the worst thing about these bomb threats is that if there is a real bomb threat, the students may not take it seriously. Also, several students' classes have been disrupted which can definitely hurt their education. I do think the school needs to try a little harder to track the threats and solve this problem.
