(Newser) – Louisiana State University's campus was evacuated today after the school received a bomb threat, the AP reports. The school's website urged the roughly 30,000 students, professors and miscellaneous staff on site to leave "as calmly and quickly as possible." Bomb technicians are searching the campus. Louisiana State Police say they're trying to determine if the threat has any connection to threats that last week emptied campuses in Texas, North Dakota, and Ohio.

 I always wondered why terrorists never spam called a million bomb threats. It forces the authorities to waste precious resources and puts everyone on edge. Its the perfect form of terrorism. By law police HAVE to look into every one of these threats.
