We were told in training that if anyone tells you they've got a bomb that it was our call whether to take it as a joke and ask again, or just call the police. But we always had to do one of those two things, because someone had answered a legally required security question with the answer, "Yes, I've got a bomb." I warned them that they could be arrested for telling me that and asked if they were joking, and they usually sobered up pretty fast.<br /><br />God knows airports are designed to make you angry, though. The ludicrous measures they take in the name of security (most of which are just to make it look like they're doing something; most of the real security you don't even see) and all the new ways they think up to get money out of you seem destined to make an ordinary person MORE inclined to want to blow things up, not less.Kate Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502745299951529417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-59402866119382213442010-11-26T11:12:21.505+00:002010-11-26T11:12:21.505+00:00Think before you type, is the lesson here evidentl...Think before you type, is the lesson here evidently!Flowerpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102679179201725732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-71508823955719917672010-11-26T08:43:31.424+00:002010-11-26T08:43:31.424+00:00Re: twitter joke trial.

He was made an example of by the CPS.<br /><br />As the law stands in the UK, if he had been overheard *saying* that in the airport he would have been let off with a caution and a flea in the ear. What he did was make a flippant remark that, while bad taste, was evidently not serious. The judge, after stating that she didn't know what twitter was, then said that the remark was "obviously threatening". I don't know what planet she was on.<br /><br /><br />For the last ten years we have been sleepwalking into a police state that quite frankly scares the hell out of me. People now accept the police taking your details without due cause, or storing your DNA when you have never committed a crime. People justify ID cards, kettling, detaining people witohut charge, and convictions for the most minor of offences with the words "in this day and age..."<br /><br />If we have to watch everything that we say, double check our travel, justify our actions at every turn, nod politely as we lose our freedoms one by one... well, haven't the terrorists won, then?Elizabeth Bramwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693182585136055698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-36884772547158112372010-11-26T06:10:12.066+00:002010-11-26T06:10:12.066+00:00First time I heard about this, I thought 'what...First time I heard about this, I thought 'what an idiot' and then 'but seriously? Giving him a criminal record for life when everyone - even the authorities - know it was a joke?'<br /><br />It was tasteless and silly thing to say, all things considered, but it was a joke he made in the heat of the moment!
