On May 10, 2007, a hoax bomb device was located at an Armed Forces Recruiting Center in Portland, Oregon. On August 11, 2007, a hoax bomb device was found at an Armed Forces Recruiting Center in Astoria, Oregon. On November 18, 2007, a hoax bomb device was located at a United States Army Recruiting Center in Salem, Oregon.
