As for the saying and doing part, the link states that the police found gunpowder and other bomb making materials at their homes and had been practicing making them for some time. Obviously, they were prepared to back up what they were saying, but weren't able to carry it out however.

The point that I originally trying to make is that, its a larger problem in the States than anywhere else, maybe it was I who was misunderstood.
It's definately something American people are now fearing.
Is it safe to go to school in America?
It seems that the states are taking alot of precautionary measures to prevent things like these from happening. I've HEARD alot of schools in the states have security guards, cameras and metal detectors.. At My Highschool we had a Principal, actually 3.. that was it, the only thing that ever happened was a stabbing which didnt even happen at school it happened at after prom camping, and by stabbing I mean the guy was hit once, and the fight ended, no one was seriously injured. I mean, I feel safe at school, I'm not really worried about anything happening to me, Is that the same for American Students?
