In an alarming start to the day on Wednesday, close to a dozen state capitols in the United States were thrown into chaos due to emailed bomb threats. This unexpected upheaval led to temporary interruptions in government activities and necessitated evacuations of several capitol buildings. However, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has since dismissed these threats as a baseless hoax after rigorous searches turned up no trace of any explosives.

The states compelled to evacuate their respective statehouse offices or associated structures included Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, and Montana among others. The FBI provided a reassuring response to these threatening incidents by stating that they had “no information to indicate a specific and credible threat.” Further ensuring public faith in their continued safety efforts across the nation, the bureau mentioned ongoing collaborations with state, local and federal law enforcement bodies for effective sharing of information and prompt action.

Incidentally, this series of fake bomb menaces occurs hot on the heels of numerous ‘swatting’ attempts – an intimidation strategy perceived to be favored by radical leftists – that targeted Republican politicians over the recent Christmas holiday season. Figures who fell victim to such measures incorporated Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Sen. Rick Scott and Rep. Brandon Williams among others. Jonathan Turley, law professor at George Washington University and well-known legal analyst also became a ‘swatting’ target subsequent his criticism of this perilous tactic.

Unsettlingly enough though is that these dangerous tactics are not reserved for high-profile politicians or public commentators alone as seen in late October 2023 when a Florida-resident man planning a Harvard “doxxing truck” experienced such incident at his personal residency.
