A victim desiring a search shall be advised that personnel from the victim's location must conduct it.  Justification being that ANYTHING that does not belong at the location should be treated as a bomb during a bomb threat incident and only the victim's employees have that knowledge.

FIELD PERSONNEL SHOULD NEVER ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN UNASSISTED BOMB SEARCH.

Statements indicating "THERE IS NO BOMB" shall not be issued by field personnel, regardless of the thoroughness of their search.
