October surprise?

This this news item caught my eye.

The Department of Homeland Security has sent an advisory to the National Football League and local officials advising of a possible, uncorroborated bomb threat against some NFL stadiums.

But

DHS said the posting is not considered credible and the information was being shared only in an abundance of caution so that league officials and others could determine what steps they want to take.

So this begs the question: if the threat was not credible, why was it so heavily publicized?
