A friend sent me the following true story and it happened at a place I am very familiar with.
Just amazing and a living example of the mind manipulation that has produced people who do not 
think for themselves that I was just talking earlier.

----original message----

Greetings All,

Here is an amazing story.  Part of it is still unfolding.  However, the amazing 
part took place yesterday in Hutchinson, KS.  A second bomb threat was called 
into a Dillon's Store - the one on East 30th. Bomb scares are fairly common so that was not the 
real story here.

The caller with the threat must have been very convincing.  Over the phone, he 
had all employees and customers rounded up (about 90 people), had them throw 
their cell phones in a basket and even had one employee get a knife that was to 
be used to slice the hand of the store manager if demands were not meet.  A type 
of "stand off" lasted for 5 hours with those 90 people paralyzed even though no 
caller was ever discovered in the store and no bomb was found.  What kind of 
fear causes people to respond in this way to totally unproven threats?.  
In no other place would people react like this.

Three more bomb threats were made today to other Dillon's stores in Hutch but 
this time the employees and customers simply left the building.
