The most unnerving part about the article is that this is the paranoia that drove the U.S. to imprison 1000′s of innocent American citizens in internment camps in WW2 just because they were of Japanese descent.
Just goes to show how close we are to repeating such a thing. Sad day.
Yeah, the police have no way of knowing who’s joking and who’s a freaking nutjob with a bomb. I for one, would not want to get blown up just because the police thought the bomber was joking. Think before you tweet, people.
Get real. They will know if he is joking or not by using their brain. Anyone with common sense will understand that this guy is simply frustrated that the airport is closed and is just letting off some steam. If the cops really that incompetent that they can’t tell the difference between a frustrated traveler and a terrorist, then I do not have much hope for their endeavors in keeping us safe.
The guy who wrote that ACTUALLY GOT FREAKING ARRESTED!!!
I swear I’m not kidding it was on the news, they kept him in interrogation for seven hours because the interrogators didn’t know what twitter was. Hahaha.
When I was a kid we threatened to blow stuff up all the time, and nobody thought anything of it. Now I can’t even threaten assassination” without getting the police all up in my hizzy. What’s the world coming to?
yes, racial prejudiced we will never repeat.
Which is why Americans are against Mexicans.
And anyone from the middle east.
And generally any outsider at all.
Ugh, no.

I think the name of the airport is a bigger joke.
