So I mean, anonymous tip right, or else the troll is going to jail for a while. So the SWAT just buys every anonymous bomb threat they get? It was my understanding that they did a lot of research first.

Yeah it's anonymous.

Honestly I'm not sure. It might be an "answer every case no matter what" situation. But I'm not positive how bomb threat scenarios work.

There was a guy in my apartment complex - two apartments down, actually - that got caught trying to make a bomb. The guy that wanted to hit the New York subways. He was unmarried and buying chemicals from salons and stuff. The crazy thing is, my mom looked out the window and saw a black, unmarked car that we'd never seen before. She was like, "man, that think looks like something the FBI would use!"

Little did we know...

Surely they've stopped using black cars by now. I mean come on.

The apartment owners confirmed it! I couldn't believe it either. But I guess unless you're actively looking for something like that, it won't seem as obvious, maybe? I dunno.

Smart cars. Hide in plain sight.

Pfft, please, we have more than enough taxpayer money for the armored Escalade.
