My question is, what was the deal with the person/persons who reported this in the first place?
I guess I will need to do some digging. It seems a bit weird that they felt the need to do all of this, but there is nothing about any arrests or even a detainment. Which makes it sound as if they had determined that this was not what their 'worst case scenario' mindset had originally assumed and were trying to back pedal without losing face.
This is something that worries me often. People who have no idea what they are looking at going off and calling agencies and whatnot over a misunderstanding/misinterpretation. But, those agencies cannot handle losing any public face or even an ounce of ego (not to mention justifying the amount spent on the response), so they make it into something to cover for their gullibility, which not only makes it worse, but also validates the person who called in the stupid crap in the first place.
