| Israel’s Miami consulate evacuated after bomb threat |
| 2017-02-17 |
| [IsraelTimes] The Israeli consulate in Miami was briefly evacuated on Thursday after a hoax bomb threat, the Foreign Ministry said. Miami police gave the all-clear an hour after the building was emptied, saying that they had found no evidence of any explosives in the building. Israel’s Foreign Ministry confirmed the threat and the evacuation. Last month the FBI announced it was launching an official probe into a wave of bomb threats to US Jewish institutions across the country in recent weeks. On January 18 at least 32 Jewish centers in 16 states received threats. Those threats came a week after an initial wave of bomb threats were called into 16 institutions across the Northeast and South on January 9, and hundreds of people were evacuated. All the alerts were false. |

| #1 Of course the standard 'active bomb threat' evac plan is for an orderly building exit then gathering at assigned but unsecured workgroup assembly points in the car park nearby for a headcount. Unfortunately, this practice can lead to actual headcounting... 1) when a jacketed wallaby walks into the assembly area. 2) the newly painted 'ambulance' arrives. 3) angry democrats open fire from across the street. 4) vehicles in visitor parking self-actuate. Observers now know where the Mossad operators cluster. |
