Hope its just a dumb prank.

Probably just a prank. When does a bomber actually call in a legitimate threat?

Odds are its a prank/dumb joke. We had one here at UGA last fall and that's all it was. Hope everybody stays safe though

Unibomber comes to mind. Never take a situation like this lightly.

"I've planted a bomb in the library. Please evacuate immediately. This is between me and the books"

It sounds like the threat was on the Student Union, other buildings being evacuated as a precaution. Hopefully it's just a prank. I know people who work there, though, so I'm watching it.

Maty Maulk cleared, Police stated he's definitely no bomb threat.

Everything that happened in the 90s changed how schools worked. After the Unabomber and especially after OKC things were never the same. Bombings became serious things then and there were several in the 90s. We had a secretary at my school who used to tell those who called in threats "that's nice sweetie," but after OKC our butts were stuck outside for ages if a bomb threat was called in. OKC made people, business, schools, universities as well as state and local governments change how they did business.
Bomb threats went from being a stupid prank to being taken very seriously both in terms of policy and in terms of how local and state police and various federal law enforcement agencies treated the matter of making a threat.

That's why Mizzou can't have nice things.
