ANNOTATION
Prosecution must prove that a person reported that a bomb had been placed at a location at the time of the report. If the substance of and circumstances surrounding a defendant's report permit a reasonable inference that a prohibited item or substance was placed in a public or private place or vehicle, a fact finder may conclude that the “has been placed” element is satisfied.
