A bomb threat or bomb scare is a threat, usually verbal or written, to detonate an explosive or incendiary device to cause property damage, death or injuries, whether or not such a device or threat actually exists. Bomb threats became serious issues post World War II, when the United States moved forward with the decision to bomb Japan with the atomic bomb. copied from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomb_threat

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman suggested that the society of the future may see a time when bombs can be constructed in secret and used without warning to effectively destroy territories and unsuspecting targets or groups of much greater size and power, such as nations and countries. On August 6, 1945, the American military successfully bombed the Japanese city of Hiroshima and brought this threat to reality. After this bombing happened without prior warning to Japan and its citizens, the American Air Force adopted a plan which enforced informing citizens and civilians when a zone was to be bombed or deemed a war zone.

Bomb scares are taken seriously and punished accordingly. Society has been taking all threats seriously because civilians are usually threatened by them and communities take all measures to be safe. Authorities protect these communities by assuming all bomb threats are with bad intent. Even a false bomb threat has a maximum fine of $5,000 and up to 5 years in prison.

Marija's Ideas
For the article, Bomb Threat, there are several things that I want to change. The article has a good flow of ideas, but I feel there should be elaboration on some points. For instance, instead of giving more "statutory" definitions of bomb threat, I can expand on the different types of bomb threats and what their intentions are. Their should be more attention directed to how bomb threats can be made, when bomb threats started being a major global threat, and why they are taken so seriously. The article mentions how most people would plan an attack like this without warning. I want touch upon why authorities take these threats so seriously even though this is the thought behind bomb threats. Headings and subtitles need to be implemented as well. The article is short and concise; if I create an organized layout of what I want to talk about, I can add more to the article without losing the clarity of what is being discussed. All the links are working, but I would definitely remove the first one referring to a song "Bombscare". I think it just makes you interpret the article with a less serious impression. Last, I would add a few pictures to depict differences in bomb scares. Maybe I can add pictures of well-known incidences and the perpetrators behind the incidents. I need to research on the different ways bomb threats are made and address these topics on the page.
