person  threatens  to inflict or cause to be inflicted, serious physical
injury or death at a school, place of  worship,  business,    government
building,    or other place of assembly, and thereby causes a reasonable
expectation or fear of  serious physical injury or death, or causes  the
evacuation or lockdown of a school, place of worship, business,  govern-
