Most people said that the authority should act on every bomb hoax, They want to play safe.
I am in a small minority who hold a different view. I said - use your common sense. Ignore the hoax when it is obviously a hoax. We should not be wasting public resources dealing with every hoax.
This letter deals with the high cost of dealing with a hoax, and it seems to be occurring more frequently.

I said - if there is a real bomb and an intent to blow up the plane, will the culprit inform the authority?
Were there any cases where the report turned out to be true, and a bomb was deactivated before it blew up?
I am not saying that we should ignore all cases. I am only saying that a senior person should exercise judgment about the report.
If there is a slim chance that it might be true, by all means do a search. But if it certainly smells of a hoax, do not waste resources and inconvenience passengers (imagine the missed connecting flights and screaming children), chasing after a hoax.
Anyway, I am sure to be in the small minority, but I want to say my piece.
Anyone is free to disagree with me, but they have to be respectful. They are not allowed to pass any personal judgment.
