5. How often is the general public told one way or the other?

Years ago there was a bomb threat phoned in for a flight I was about to take. They towed the plane to a distant runway, spread the luggage out on the tarmac and ferried us out there one by one and had us unpack our bags in the presence of several heavily armed men with dogs. Another team with dogs searched the plane. When that was done they loaded us up and we flew. There was never an announcement about whether or not a bomb was found and I never heard/read any news about it later in spite of going out of my way to search for information.
