Bombing Run mission
So I got this mission for the second time now, but I have no clue what to do. A terrorist threatens with a bomb if I don't pay one million $. I am not given a choice and I have to plop a detective wi...

I already had the detective add-on. It seemed to work automatically; the bomb was found. I don't know if it mattered, but I also deployed Maxis Man.
I have to say, though, I don't know when this mission was programmed into the game, but I didn't see it until after the 2.0 update. It seems to be in poor taste to have this in the game, especially after Boston. Had the Boston bombing not happened, I still would have felt that this was a worthless addition. I'm sure they could have come up with a better option for a timed mission, like something to do with the hazmat truck.

This mission has been in the game since the start. Why would it be in poor taste? Bombings happen. Tornados and earthquakes happen. The fact that the Boston bombing happened in the United States doesn't make it worse than other bombings. Just saying.

This was my feelings on it, terrible thing but then so is an earthquake, or any other thing a city deals with for that matter.
Personally i'd like to see SWAT deployed in an addon or a pack.
I guess you haven't played many of Maxis' previous games. The bomb mission has been around for a very long time. This little known game called SimTower is the first one I remember seeing it in. There was a bomb threat against your tower, and you only had a few minutes to find the bomb. Well, your security teams only had a few minutes.
I just saw this mission tonight for the first time, hopped on here to find out if there was anything that I needed to do personally, or if it was like previous missions in this vein.
PS, if your detectives fail to find the bomb, something does blow up. You will have a few fires to contend with.
