Wash. DC Had Similar Bomb Threat Experience

About an hour before today's bomb scare at LAX, a man walked into the World Bank in Washington D.C. and went up to a security guard with a suspicious package claiming it was a bomb. The incident prompted nearby streets to close and people inside the bank were not allowed to leave. An hour later, a man walked up to an LA World Airports police officer and said he had a bomb in his backpack, which prompted the roads around LAX's terminal's to close. It was later found, like the incident in DC, that the bag did not have a bomb.

Coincidence or a planned panic attack?

Two idiots who apparently wanted attention. They will be the 'Bell of the ball' during their very long prison sentences.

Maybe LA guy heard about DC guy on the news and decided to do the same?
