| Bomb threat shuts down Eiffel Tower, Saint Michel train station |
| 2010-09-15 |
| Anonymous phone threats turn out to be false, but the Eiffel Tower was closed to tourists for three hours while police searched with dogs. The underground St. Michel train station was closed for an hour. It seems the French have gotten a lot of this kind of thing over the years, so they take it fairly calmly. |

| #1 Perhaps the mayor of Paris should suggest that the threats are just as likely to have come from people disgruntled about the French health care system as from Islamists upset by the burka ban. It worked so well for Bloomberg, after all. |
