True, I didn't take bomb threats seriously in the 90's as a teenager, I

rolled my eyes and thought to myself, yeah right, none of these local dumbarses are making bombs.

Mass shooting threats, probably a bit more disconcerting for those involved. That changed in 1998 once Columbine happened IMO. It became very real and much more plausible a threat.
