Wait a minute.

Unless I am mistaken, threatening someone and creating fear is a punishable offense. Right?

Target's forensic science unit is top notch. Seriously bad-assed. PDs will sometimes send Target some of their forensic work, at least they used to do this. High profile cases as well - murder and abductions. Especially in the case of abductions - the first 24 hours are critical, so, all hands on deck. Target would drop all other work to help. Target would do this work as a way of giving back to the community.

My point here is that Target has the capabilies to easily build a case against the perpetrators. The perpetrators should be held accountable for their actions and prosecuted.

We are a nation of laws. IF this happened, and I question that it did, it should prosecuted. Clutching your lady parts and hyperventilating about terrorism is not the way to handle this.
