School districts all across the USA are getting fake Email bomb threats.  The cops have the sender's IP address, why can't they ID him and make an arrest?

There are billions of IP addresses. Even if they locate a specific IP there is the possibility that the message did not reall originate from there. If I hack a system in China and use that to hack a system in Eastern Europe and send the message from there what are you going to do?

You'd think in this day and age people would know that an IP address is easy to fake or cover. You don't have to be an expert to send an email through servers that won't come back to you.

Despite what the MPAA and RIAA may want the court system to believe, an IP address does not equal a location does not equal a user.  IP addresses are re-used constantly, TOR, proxies and other methods can obscure the true originating IP address, and time synchronization among system logs can throw an investigation down the wrong trial very easily.

Google hide IP and you will find your answers... that or the emails could be sent via TOR (deepweb) and never be traced

Unless the guy is a total idiot that is not his IP.  It's probably some poor bastard that got on Google looking for the fappening...

That's the equivalent of arresting the residents at the return address of a mail bomb.
