MySpace terror "attack"

Ah, the Internet. You have to take the good with the bad. It's great that information can travel so quickly in this virtual world, but it's also dangerous if given to the wrong hands. Like teenagers.

Two high school students in San Antonio used the popular social networking site MySpace to broadcast a threat to students of their high school. The message stated that two boys were planning on showing up to school with guns.

Whether or not the threat was intended to be real, only 400 of the school's 3,000 students showed up the date posted on MySpace. And nobody showed up to school with guns, either.

Did the students get the attention they wanted? If they were hoping to cause fear and disrupt people's lives, they certainly did a good job of it. Let's hope the authorities can work with MySpace to catch the culprits.
