I don't mean this to sound like yet another 'conspiracy theory'... but.....
given the crash in Dubai, and the subsequent discussion re: screening of cargo/parcels/freight, and the fact that (from what I read) these threats seem to have been targeted at UPS... discussions here about lack of safety precautions and provisions for freighters, value of airline lives vs cargo.. etc etc etc
could this be 'someone's' (an interested party, whether an indiviual or other) way of drawing attention to the gaps in 'security' in this section of aviation??
I.e. not a 'real' threat as in intended to cause any crashes, BUT- looks real enough to make people sit up and take notice?
Makes me wonder.... (ok you might think I'm crazy but this is the thought that crossed my mind when I first heard of this)
