In New York, it's the felony of 'tampering with an alarm,' which gets 2- 1/3 to 7 for the first conviction. If a death results, it's second degree felony murder. It's not federal, it's local, which means you are much more likely to be prosecuted, especially if anyone if hurt as a result.
I apologize for my unintended mistakes, especially for possibly missed the and a articles. Generally I agree with you - people should watch their language. Having said that I want to make two points: 1. Many people posting here are foreigners. There is a thing called the network externality - you want to be a part of a bigger network, bigger forum etc., because you benefit more from it. That's why people hang out on the main forum, not on smaller local forums. 2. Majority of participants are young and even if English is their first language, they have this e-mail/SMS/IM style. They are in a hurry all the time
