Can the FBI say TOR?




Pitt police chief asks person responsible for bomb threats to contact him

After four more bomb threats were reported on the University of Pittsburgh's campus on Thursday, the Pitt campus police chief said he'd like the person responsible to contact him.

"Maybe he'll talk to me. I don't know what the issue is. Maybe I'd be able to find out exacty. I can refer him to somebody," said Chief Tim Delaney. "This is terrorism. The contractors can't work so they can't get paid. The students are paying for an education they can't get."

Delaney said the FBI is working to trace the source of the emailed bomb threats. Two threats were emailed to reporters at two local newspapers, including the Tribune Review.

"One of the newspapers that received this threat ran the headers and it came back that the messages are pinging back from Austria," Delaney said.

Pitt computer science major Jake Wilder said it's possible for the highly skilled to set up a fake IP address and make emails look like they originated in another country.

"This is essentially like domestic terrorism," Wilder said. "They're wasting resources and they're causing first responders to be overstressed."

There have been 23 threats made on the campus over the past few weeks.




Now come on, you mean to tell me the FBI never heard of TOR? And email bomb threats? Really? This kids are mailing the press so it goes in the paper then others see it and join in on the bandwagon.
