and it is no coincidence nobody every gets arrested for phoning in the bomb threat in the day and age where the NSA monitors ALL digital and telephone communication.
The 2007 Boston bomb scare occurred on Wednesday, January 31, 2007, after both the Boston Police Department and Boston Fire Department mistakenly identified battery-powered LED placards resembling the Mooninite characters of the Cartoon Network show Aqua Teen Hunger Force, as improvised explosive devices. Placed throughout Boston, Massachusetts and the surrounding cities of Cambridge and Somerville, these devices were part of a guerrilla marketing advertising campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, a film based on the animated television series Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Cartoon Network's late-night programming block, Adult Swim.
This incident led to controversy from a number of sources, including The Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Fox News, The San Francisco Chronicle, New York Times, CNN, and The Boston Herald. A group of police found them to be sharing "some characteristics with improvised explosive devices." These characteristics included an identifiable power source, circuit board with exposed wiring, and electrical tape. Investigators were intending to determine "if this event was a hoax or something else entirely".

I'm just saying.. the NSA supposedly has access to all calls/ e-mails (allegedly).. so, why is it they can't find the people calling in these bomb threats? Either they're lying about their capabilities, or the people phoning in the threats are allowed NOT to be caught.

Perhaps they used a disposable go phone, or a pay phone?
I still don't really understand what the connection between the mooninites and a bomb scare 6 years later is supposed to be though.

Please watch the video then- Tufts medical center was evacuated because of the Aqua Teen Hoax- It was later evacuated during the Boston Bombing Hoax as well because of a "Bomb Scare".

The broadcasting company has been asked to remove the green, glowing devices from public locations, and the company was complying with that request Wednesday afternoon, said Seattle police spokesman Sean Whitcomb.
The devices also were found in Seattle, Woodinville and Bothell, according to Seattle police, but did not trigger alarm.

You are not going to find a picture, or video of the signs in other cities because no other city besides Boston freaked out and turned a simple advertising stunt in to a media frenzy bomb scare.
