CityRoom has posted the U.S. Marshals' Form 531B, which shows the "nine questions that law enforcement agencies want answered in the event of a bomb threat over the phone." Sure, not all bomb threats at called in, but, in case they are, these questions may be useful. The questions include things like "Did you place the bomb?" and "Why?" and also asks the person fielding the call to notice the caller's voice and manner (stutter? slurred? disguised? accent?) and noises in the caller's environment (P.A. system? animal noises? music?—yes, just like in The Fugitive). Initially the U.S. Marshals' spokesman William Dundon suggested that animals noises could eliminate NYC as being a caller's location, but then revised himself, "There are roosters in the city. I have heard them in the morning."

"When is the bomb going to explode?"
You'd have to be a really, really stupid criminal to give the correct answer to that question. For instance, if the bomb's actually going to go off in 15 minutes, you'd want to say that it's going to explode in a hour. That way you'd increase the chances that people are going to get blown up when it explodes.
Peter, you are a criminal genius!
I had one of those in my cubicle at my old job... it's fairly standard stuff. It was right next to the fire alarm/emergency exit instructions on my wall.
I'm confused why it's "news," maybe CityRoom was bored and reaching? ... the Starbucks incident tie in seems like a bit of a stretch, but oh well...
Meanwhile as the typical 911 operator barely speaks English, he/she is going to determine what type of accent the caller has? As a mad bomber I would hang up on the stupid piece of shit. "What are we doing here." I would respond, "playing twenty questions?"
...that's what i want to know..."When is the bomb going to explode?"
They left out some key dialogue that would prepare law enforcement for any eventuality...
Captain: What happen?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What!
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's you!!
Cats: How are you gentlemen!!
Cats: All your base are belong to us.
Cats: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say!!
Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time.
Cats: Ha ha ha ha....
