The school system and the police don't know if they were actually serious or not but they took them seriously. There were several kids arrested and charged for sending these "hit lists". Sure, the later ones were most likely copycats cashing in on the "real ones" but since the officials can't be sure if it's a joke, they take the more extreme path to err on the side of safety for all children. Frankly, I don't blame them, especially after Columbine and 9/11.... I remember a time when I was in school where they didn't say much if you had pocketknives in your possession but they cracked down on the kids who carried hunting rifles to hunt either before or after school from bringing those onto campus and having them in the gun rack in their pickup trucks.
