IMO if anyone should be charged with perpetrating a hoax, it's the person who called this in, and/or the officials who overreacted. There is no way anyone sane could think that those signs were bombs...for one, it would take a lot more explosive than something the size of that sign to have an actual effect on much.

From the pictures I've seen of them they look big enough to have about two pounds of plastic explosive (e.g. C-4, Semtex) in them, about the same volume as 2 coke cans. 8 pounds is used to blow 8 insch square steel in supporting pillars during building implosions.

This really belongs on Fratching. Some of you should have known much better than to turn this into a debate.
