Yes. Set the task of coming up with a bomb threat.You have obviously tried it then.
Part of the coursework involved how would you deal with when such a threat was received.
Location only had two exits, one was "covered" with a stationary car(radio control) with afore mentioned half block of marzipan, complete with wiring & a couple of flashing LED's clearly visible to anyone asked to check out the window on the door. One exit/escape route blocked.
Main entrance covered by a second, similar car, only this came out from a bag underneath a table. Hitting the wall & "activating" it. As this was happenning, a phonecall was put through fom a nearby office, to those at the desk to point out what had just happened. Various questions asked, not giving them time to get a question in.
Had the "device become active". Flashing LED's would let them know if it was active or not. Owing to a gap were someome might just get out, It was pointed out that there movement sensors fitted on both vehicles.
Anyone moving nearby would set the device(s) off. Some one went to try to move it out of the way.This activated the mecury switch, causing the second battery to short whilst passing an electric current through the wire running through the marzipan like a heating coil. Smoke was then seen coming from the "plastic explosive".
I'm told blind panic ensued in that room with both means of escape blocked. I wasn't allowed to help on that part of their coursework in that manner again. Don't know why?
