Author Topic: Opinions on joke bomb threat  (Read 3240 times)

Really wondering what you guys think about that girl tweeting @AmericanAirlines saying that she was part of Al Qaeda  and on June 1st something big was going to happen

I think her and all the people making continuous jokes on twitter should be put on the No-Fly list as a joke by the airlines lol

Some guy commented on this facebook posting https://www.facebook.com/Cheezburger/posts/642613405806985

"Yes, let's punish teenagers as severely as possible for making jokes on the internet. Because that's what America is all about - grossly overreacting to every stupid little thing while blithely ignoring all of our REAL problems. We have truly lost all semblance of common sense."

they were teaching her a lesson and it seems to have worked

To quote one of the comments...

are they Dutch because if so that means all you need to do to remedy this situation is bomb the Netherlands

They're making an example out of her stupidity. Threats shouldn't be taken lightly. How is anyone supposed to know who's joking and who isn't?

kinda like my geography teacher told me:
"think before you say something"

oops my mistake she turned herself in at rotterdam

but yeah american airlines wasnt loving around

mildly disregarding the specific situation;

situations like this really beg the question of where a person, and our government for that matter, draws the line between forms of communication.  because a threat like this made on airport grounds would not beg the same public reaction.  i would even go as far as to say that a telephone call to a local politician and making a death threat would also beg a more strong response with less people defending the instigator.

but when it boils down to it, no matter what form of communication you use, a threat is a thread and should be treated as one.  joking is something you do with friends or at worst some peers that sort of know you.  a joke is not something to be pulled on an international company that has increased focus on security by 100% since september 11th.  it's just not a justifiable thing to do.  whether you think it's a joke, or she was too young to understand.  if shes too young then her parents shouldn't have permitted her using social media.  at the end of the day, she got very lucky more wasnt done to her.

Exactly. Everyone "joking" should be put on the No-Fly list. Or publicly hanged


okay now you're being an idiot
come on man i was joking ok

i already blocked the fbi so...

how is aa supposed to get her ip, anyways

i'm pretty sure twitter doesn't randomly give out ips to big corporations

they were probably just trying to call her "bluff" as a publicity stunt
