All Los Angeles schools were closed today over a 'credible' terrorist threat - but New York authorities dismissed the same threat as a hoax because it seemed 'generic', 'outlandish', and 'mirrored recent episodes on Homeland'.

More than 640,000 children were ordered to stay home on the West Coast on Tuesday amid fears of an attack on the nation's second largest school district.
FBI detectives and explosives experts descended on the 900 campuses in bullet-proof uniform after Los Angeles superintendent Ramon Cortines received an email describing plans to bomb at least three schools and multiple students.
However, New Yorkers carried on as normal as police commissioner Bill Bratton held a press conference to describe the 'basic errors' that he believes shows the threat was a hoax.
Initial investigations suggest the threat came from an IP address in Frankfurt, Germany, according to Reuters.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday morning that he was 'absolutely convinced' there was no danger to schoolchildren in New York.
New York Police Commissioner William Bratton said he thought Los Angeles officials overreacted by deciding to close the nation's second-largest school system.
He said a school superintendent received the threatening email Tuesday morning.
Bratton said the person who wrote the note claimed to be a jihadist but made errors that made it clear the person was a prankster.
What's an adult-age college school? Mess, if its a college, he can't "order" a search there, the superintendent of the school district doesn't have jurisdiction over colleges. This article seems sketchy
