There were no phone calls? Yes there were, four around 1pm. I'll try to explain, but your agenda that we are all a paranoid nation might get in your way.
First of all, you ask why all these items have not been noticed for weeks. Well, duh, because it wasn't working! The ad didn't work, no one even thought twice about them! Let me tell you something about the big city, you can fall on the ground squirming in pain and people will ignore you and walk right past you.
Now, what happens when an ad doesn't work? Well, you don't get called back.
I work with a part timer(post office) who is full time on the fire dept. I also know some postal police who were outside talking with the state police over at South Station(the GMF is located right behind).
What they have put together is when the ad scheme didn't work as planned, a little extra had to be done, so the phone calls were made. From what I was told, they were not called in as bombs, but as circuit boards with wires and taped objects attached. It was not called in as a glowing light brite.
The calls were made to describe a bomb, not a lite bright.
