The majority of bomb threats are ___ in to target.

• A. written in
• B. called in
• C. posted online
• D. delivered in person

Answer: (B)

Most bomb threats are reported by telephone to the target. This method is fast and allows the caller to stay anonymous or avoid direct confrontation, which is why it remains the common way threats reach the location. Because of this, safety training focuses on handling telephone threats: stay calm on the line, gather essential details (location, time, description of the device), note voice characteristics and background sounds, and immediately alert authorities and follow the established evacuation or shelter procedures. Other forms—written notes, online posts, or in-person threats—do occur but are far less typical, and they involve different detection and response dynamics.
