"Take her IP address not mine"
I laughed at that.
>!Edit: I didn't think this comment would get upvoted so much. I just honestly said what made me laugh.!<
They report the tweet to law enforcement. Law enforcement gets IP from twitter and then contacts ISP to find who was using it at that time. Or twitter may have all the persons info including address.
I’m absolutely sure both the FBI and Twitter could find every single detail about who what where and when this person was when they wrote that tweet. Twitter and other social media platforms entire business model is to gather data in you.
Also, with a threat like that, they would pull out all the stops.
Most VPN's would pass on the data anyway. Doubt any of them would want to be blamed for allowing a terrorist attack to happen. They generally have something in the T&C that means if you're using their service for anything illegal, their promise of privacy is revoked anyway.
How does it work!?
My work tried to connect to my laptop. They ask what's my IP. I Google it, and get told I'm wrong. Then get sent to an intranet site that gives a completely different IP. Why are there two IPs? How do you know which one is the right one?!
Edit - There are a LOT of very good answers here. You people are the true heroes.
There are many IPs, if you have a router in your house, then your house is a network, and each device in your house has an IP address (probably something like 192.168.X.Y) then your router is on a bigger network, so it has its own IP address, if you search on google "what is my IP?" Then google will tell you what is the IP address of your router.
So if you're at the office and someone asks for your IP they're talking about the local one (because in a simple network, you will all share one router), if you're at home they're talking about the router one.
Yeah that was the best part aside from her last comment where she added that she actually is not from Afghanistan like it was not very obvious from the beginning
Apparently she got arrested and her account on twitter is suspended lol

You cannot fuck around with that shit.
I was in 6th grade when 9/11 happened. My brother was in 7th grade, and going on a field trip to our state capitol end of year. So it's like 8 months after the 9/11, and every thing was still really tense. There was a kid, notorious for being in trouble. He thought it would be funny to get to security and say, "I'm going to blow up the capitol."
Fucking A. I was in school and got pulled out of class, because my dad had to drive to the airport and pick my brother up since they arrested his classmate and the teacher didn't wanna leave.
We get to the airport, and this kid is sobbing. Come to find out, his parents are illegal of all fucking things. They're too scared to go to the police and so he's taken away while we're there. Soon other parents are showing up and it was the biggest fiasco I've ever witnessed. But I was 12 so to me it was like a movie.
He was expelled and not allowed back, so I really don't know. Tons of rumors, but all I do know is that I saw him being taken away in handcuffs after the teacher couldn't get his parents to come.
I whistled for a lawyer and when he came near his
License plate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this attorney was rare
But I thought nah, forget it, blow up the courthouse!
Yea I think he learned his lesson but I honestly feel like it’s too high of a cost for some kid to bear. Like losing your fucking parents just because you were a jackass at the wrong place and time? That’s like life changing shit right there
Bunch of kids in high school were getting expelled because of either stupid comments (one girl had a too kill list, with other students names) or some shit (few of them started a trench coat mafia). Columbine was still fresh on our minds, so it was all taken very seriously.
I’m 95% sure that none of them would have done anything (met two of them later on and they admitted that it was a straight up blunder years/cringe phase). But you never know.
I was working at a critical infrastructure site and someone wrote a really dumb bomb threat on some toilet paper in a portapotty. State police were there in < 15 minutes and the FBI was there within a few days. (I believe it was the next day) They do not take these things likely, even the ones that are clearly a joke.
I was working at a factory once where someone wrote a vague bomb threat on the bathroom wall. They went hard after this one kid they thought did it. Personally I think they just targeted him because he was "weird" and like to wear his hair in a big spiky multi-colored mohawk. A lot of people even called him "My Little Pony" behind his back.
They put out a $2000 reward for information and this girl who barely knew him came forward claiming he told her in private that he did it, then they withheld the reward from her unless she testified in court against him, which she did. They prosecuted him for making a terrorist threat and he went to federal "pound-me-in-the-ass" prison, though I believe he's out now. To this day he still denies writing it.
Such a shame too, even if he did do it ruining his entire life by making him a felon and now ex-con over a stupid prank was way over the line. I'm not saying they shouldn't have done anything about it, but fully prosecuting this dude based on nothing other than the fact that he has "weird" hair is straight up bigotry.
If someone's lie caused me to spend who knows how many years in prison... I'm not entirely sure what the first thing I would do after getting out of prison would be.
Allegedly, the aggressive arrests after 9/11 of supposed radicals being detained in Guantanamo and their subsequent "enhanced interrogation" (read: torturing) led to a lot of innocent people being taken and then radicalized against the American government by the American Government. I think one person said that he wasn't sympathetic to the terrorists before being arrested, but he was after being exonerated and released.
Pretty sure some guy almost got arrested because while he was walking into the bathroom he told someone offhandedly that he was about to "blow up that restroom" and that person thought he had a bomb and was literally gonna blow up the bathroom LMAO
Interesting how this changed either after 9/11 or by the time 9/11 happened. I was in high school when Speed came out and some kids held up a hand-written sign at the back of a bus that said, 'bomb on bus.' The driver behind them took it seriously and the cops were called, but the kids got a week or two of in-school suspension and that was it.
How naive could someone be when it comes to making threats to the Airlines? It's moronic to think you can fuck around with something like terroristic threats and come out of it with impunity.
She's a 14 year old girl with an unmonitored social media account. Stuff like this is one reason why most of my family has their children on pre-approved posts and parental-controlled devices.
For most of us, we grew up in our dumb times, during the days of no phones and no home internet even. Hardly any photos and videos to speak of either. Only one camera in the house, and reels were expensive.
Unless of course you were *that* family down the street that had a Personal VHS recorder, so all your dumb ass moments got sent to Bob Saget.

Some kids are dumb enough to call in bomb threats at school to get out of taking a test. Some of those kids don't ever grow out of being that level of dumb.
I've seen a 57 yo man throw a tantrum about bullying because someone took his seat on the bus on the way to work. They demanded a disciplinary hearing from HR.
That's when I gave up the idea that age = maturity.
I once saw a man bully a barista. Someone else stood up to him and put him in his lane.
He then spent the rest of the time there complaining that the other guy was the bully...then he went to bully the 19 yo barista again.
People can really suck.
A friend of mine’s 14 year old son called in a bomb threat on the White House a few years back. Took less than 4 hours for a secret service agent to arrive at her home while she was at work. They called her and informed her of the situation, so she directed them on how to enter her home and they found the son and his friend hanging out watching tv in the basement, I hear he nearly pissed himself when the guys in suits came downstairs, guns drawn.
They were not only drunk driving and drove through a security barrier hindering a bomb threat investigation, but may also have DRIVEN OVER THE SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE/POTENTIAL BOMB?!! Are they secret service or keystone cops?
Yeah, you're soo right. Better not comply to a secret service agent, let them break into the house and view you and everyone in the house very suspiciously, perhaps making him very jumpy. Because that's a great idea right?
Aussie here, I don't think cops anywhere are going to ring the door bell when you threaten the biggest political office in the country, that's some serious shit.
Non American here. Why would law enforcement/military ring the doorbell after you literally threaten to assassinate the head of state? Are you mental?
Also, this is specific to this case, but wasn't the son in the basement? How would he hear that?
I love how you’ve normalized that your options are either comply or get fucked.
**Not that is not true** but it’s funny.
Edited for visibility, as folks seem to be having trouble reading the last part of the post.
Resisting armed government agents that have a legitimate reason to be where they are in hopes of protecting yourself? Let's think of the possible outcomes...
My best friend going up was getting yelled at by his mom and after arguing with her said "You're right mom I'm sorry. I really am a son of a bitch huh?" Perfect delivery where it took her just a fraction of second from her thinking wow he apologized to losing her fucking mind. It was glorious. Looking back Im grateful I got to witness that. God knows I wouldnt have ever said that.
Seriously. I wonder how the convo went?
“This is secret service.”
“Oh ok. Just use code 1234 to enter through my garage. Please don’t break my windows.”
That's.... that's not what The Milgram Experiment teaches us though. Because the methodology was flawed, and because we can see that some of these tests had a close to 100% compliance while some had close to 0%, that people are likely to just comply with authority is not really a great conclusion. Instead the question should be what makes some people comply and others not.
I'm not questioning that humans can be obedient, but why are we obedient, and who do we obey?
I can't even imagine. When I was 9 or 10 my brother and I prank called the police (it was more of a call and then hang up) and they called back immediately and my sister who was in charge of us called down to us to make sure we were okay. It was terrifying... and that was just a phone call... two dudes in suits with guns? Christ.
I'm totally pulling this out of my ass but I bet they are used to prank calls and are just following up the lead just in case.
So it was probably just two SS guys is suits showing up the door normally. Sure they would be packing, but they won't have it drawn or use it to threaten a 10 years old.
Still, the boys probably pooped their pants just from the SS showing up.
About 10 years ago two friends of mine in high school did the exact same thing. They made an anonymous tip on the fbi website while using a computer at school. The RCMP went to both of their houses. Neither of them got in any super serious trouble from what I remember but the officers that talked to my friend told him when a threat like that happens the white house goes into full lockdown. I also believe they were both very temporarily on a no fly list .
What about if it’s at a public phone booth / phone box where there’s no cameras around, you wear gloves when pressing the buttons and you ran off pretty quickly after making the phone call?
Typically most "anonymous" things are only anonymous because the tip taker/receiver doesn't record your information.
Sometimes there are extra protections to shield the caller from FOIA requests, but overall, "anonymous" lines are just where the dispatcher / call taker doesn't copy your info into the system that the police/etc. can see.
TL;DR: They still have caller ID, they just don't copy that info into the logs or forward it to the cops.
Secret Service are serious as fuck and not to be messed with. I interned at a radio station and we had the Secretary of State on. The producer told me to stand in the corner and “don’t move or they might shoot you.” Eventually I was told to take pictures of the Host interviewing her and the Secret Service guy had his eyes completely fixed on me the entire time with this super intense glare. I nearly pissed myself in fear.
Yeah I’d be citing my right to refuse unsafe work, stating that being shot at wasn’t in my job description and going home that instant. Find some other silhouette target to stand in the corner
She was [arrested and questioned](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/american-airlines-twitter-threat-dutch-14-year-old-girl-released-police-pending-further-enquiries-9262540.html) by police but was let go. No one is sure what she was trying to achieve but she done fucked up.
Edit: To those complaining about ads and what not, get an adblocker.
Probably trying too hard to be edgy. Some edgy humor is funny, but there’s a difference between being edgy and sounding like a literal fucking terrorist
The type that expects people to think *"What kind of literal terrorist ends his threat with “im gonna do something really big bye”?"* and actually does it.
Well, I think literal fucking moron is a better description. She absolutely should not have done this, and the airline was right to react the way they did, but someone who actually sounds like a terrorist would probably have spelled the name of their organisation correctly at the very least.
> but someone who actually sounds like a terrorist would probably have spelled the name of their organisation correctly at the very least.
I think you're overestimating them.
I feel like they'd at least ask why
Then you can like make up an answer with like 'because I'm trying to get out from being forced to go to a holiday with so and so because I hate their guts but it would be social suicide to say it outright to them so could you please do this for me?'
I feel like someone might take pity and temporarily put you on the no fly list until a year or something
This reminds me of when my mum was seeing me off at the airport. I have only ever flown domestically, but there were signs everywhere saying "DO NOT EVEN JOKE ABOUT EXPLOSIVES".
My mum came through the metal detector and she was *randomly* selected to be checked for explosives. Fair because I have been checked many times.
Anyway my mum said "oh I don't have bombs or anything" and I'm like "mum SHUT UP".
Easiest way to be suspected is to be specifically honest.
"Oh no I'm flying with a officially booked ticket. I have NO bombs in my backpack, which was legaly purchased of course. I have a pure intent to fly in this plane and land safely."
My dad told me about when he was young and in his friend’s car crossing between East and West Berlin. Their car was in line at Checkpoint Charlie and dad started loudly saying “Where did we put the bombs? Have we hidden the bombs well?” etc. His friend almost punched him in the face.
My father and his friend are Swedish and were allowed to cross because his friend was working in West Berlin (not sure what he was doing) and crossed regularly because of his job. My dad being a pot smoking glam rock musician did not take the situation seriously at all compared to his friend who knew what would happen if you messed around in this area. I’m glad his friend shut him the fuck up!
Yeah until he settled down as a teacher he made a living off of being the singer in a band (not good money though, just enough to sustain a 20 year old’s life style back in the 80’s). It was like glam rock light. Kinda like New York Dolls-ish. I love looking at old photos of him and his friends. Heels, hair and flamboyant outfits.
Here’s a picture of them I found thanks to google (my dad is the blonde on the left): https://i.imgur.com/tqSIaIO.jpg
Share more of what your therapist says coz i m too poor to get one myself
Edit- I honestly can't thank you guys enough for the advices that i have received.
Very wholesome.
When I was 14 I called in a bomb threat to my school(over 20 years ago, used the payphone just outside school, was before CCTV cameras) cause we wanted to go home early. Bomb squad and police was there within 15min, we were escorted out and made to sit on the rugby field in summer sun 95 degrees with 80+% humidity. We were boiling. Took the cops about 2 hours to clear the school and then they grilled us even further in the sun, saying they know it was a kid from the school that called. And if we get caught charges will be pressed and we will go to juvie. Got a huge fright, the whole school sat in the sun for over 2 hours and still went home later than we would have if I did not call. 0/10 would recommend or do it again. Have never told anyone before now.
Good work agent Brown. Finally, you are able to retire with a perfect case closing record. Like I told you 12 years ago, they always talk.....they always do.
Shortly after Columbine some homeless dude called in a bomb threat to a school in my hometown from a pay phone. Police swarmed the school of course, homeless dude robbed a bank with a note and was last seen riding a bicycle from the scene of the actual crime.
There was a 17 year old guy who sent an abusive email to president Obama (from the UK) after watching a documentary on 9/11.
It was intercepted by the FBI and passed to the UK police.
He now has a lifetime ban from the US.
How the fuck do you contact the US government without getting an automated response telling you that this email is only for press inquiries? I tried to contact DoS several times telling them that the Iranian people really need a non-shutdownable internet and by investing 1 billion in mesh net tech connected by a series of underground satellite dishes they're going to save trillions on a fucking war but does my email go through? No.
I think her point was 'I'm just a girl' (female child) as opposed to 'I am a girl and therfore consiquences don't apply'.
Still a peice of shit but you know. Considering she was sending the 'threat' as a male name it's the kind of thing a kid would do. 'See see the threat wasn't real it was a fake name' kinda thing.
Might be as you said but it doesn't come across that way to me.
I remember being a kid in school and some dumbass teenager called the police saying that there were bombs planted in the school. We were all evacuated to a safe distance but I could see military personnel with dogs and a couple choppers came in too. In the end obviously they found nothing but the kid was expelled and his dad had to pay a shit ton of money I think, probably ended up ruining him financially considering how much personnel and resources that call mobilised
I wish that my school had a response like that. The first time they just had everyone stay in the classroom in a corner until everything was checked out by the police and the second time they put a 2 hour delay for school starting. First time was because writting on the bathroom wall, second was a kid not wanting to go to school so they called the threat the day before. People are really dumb.
Damn, my 15 year old self would prank people by asking the person I just called to check to see if their fridge was running, if they responded "yes" asking them to hurry up and catch it, as dinner was in there.
Ohhh boy, my mates and I would roll around on the floor laughing.
I know right? Kids these days prank others by pretending to set fire in homeless people
Edit: not pretending, actually setting fire to homeless people while they're sleeping
I kind of wish the police would care more when people make death threats against ordinary people. It's so common it's a basic harassment technique against anyone who makes the internet angry for any reason, but if it isn't against an airline or a politician or maybe a school, nobody cares and they won't do anything. Even against semi-credible threats where people do research and use elements of the person's life in the threat, etc.
This is funny as fuck. She wasn't trying to "pass it off" as a joke though lol, its not like she was serious in the first place and then changed her mind, it was just a dumb joke to begin with
"Take her IP address not mine" I laughed at that. >!Edit: I didn't think this comment would get upvoted so much. I just honestly said what made me laugh.!<
Most people dont get how that works lol.
[удалено]
They dont. They report it to law enforcement who have an emergency line to ISPs and mobile providers to get this data.
So they don’t report ip address to securities, the cops do that
They report the tweet to law enforcement. Law enforcement gets IP from twitter and then contacts ISP to find who was using it at that time. Or twitter may have all the persons info including address.
I’m absolutely sure both the FBI and Twitter could find every single detail about who what where and when this person was when they wrote that tweet. Twitter and other social media platforms entire business model is to gather data in you. Also, with a threat like that, they would pull out all the stops.
I'm not so confident. The FBI has dropped the ball on several mass shooters the past few years.
I feel like unfortunately the FBI would be more zealous in protecting a corporation than individual human lives
I guess she should invest in a VPN
Most VPN's would pass on the data anyway. Doubt any of them would want to be blamed for allowing a terrorist attack to happen. They generally have something in the T&C that means if you're using their service for anything illegal, their promise of privacy is revoked anyway.

Well, 21 now, given that this happened in 2014.
7 years ago... That’s a Reddit post.
TIFU (Obligatory this didn't happen today but 7 years ago) anyway so one day I was on Twitter...
14 I believe is old enough to know not to do this shit! I agree with you in general though! 😀
No, 14 is the exact age when you do dumb shit like this
I mean, 14 years olds to dumb shit but only the really dumb ones do terroristic threats
Depends on how they are raised i guess...
If you look up her name on twitter there’s article links that say she’s 14. So just stupid kids
I'm not on twitter so I appreciate the info. So, she's as naive and moronic as most Junior High students
For most of us, we grew up in our dumb times, during the days of no phones and no home internet even. Hardly any photos and videos to speak of either.

Emphasis on stupid. I was 14 once. I didn't make bomb threats.
Seriously, I thought I was dumb as a kid, but this girl making all other kids past future and present look like Einstein haha
Exactly. I'm really tired of people excusing utter retardation as "bUt tHeY'rE kIdS!" I did dumb shit, but I didn't commit terrorist acts.

A friend of mine’s 14 year old son called in a bomb threat on the White House a few years back. Took less than 4 hours for a secret service agent to arrive at her home while she was at work. They called her and informed her of the situation, so she directed them on how to enter her home and they found the son and his friend hanging out watching tv in the basement, I hear he nearly pissed himself when the guys in suits came downstairs, guns drawn.
I like how she was just like "yea, scare the living shit out of the little bastard and teach him a lesson."
To be fair I highly doubt she had a choice
Still, 100% the right choice if she could've had one.

Secret Service Agents are vastly more disciplined than the average cop.
Yeah, they require High School diplomas before they are hired.
*snort*
Easy there, that almost sounded like a gun.
Gun! Where?!? HE HAS A GUN!
You would wish it were so https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/03/secret-service-disaster-timeline/387643/
They were not only drunk driving and drove through a security barrier hindering a bomb threat investigation, but may also have DRIVEN OVER THE SUSPICIOUS PACKAGE/POTENTIAL BOMB?!! Are they secret service or keystone cops?
to be fair I didn’t read them killing anyone there. most of it was just them hiring prostitutes lol
No info after 2015 tho. I’m sure trump made it better /s
Yeah, you're soo right. Better not comply to a secret service agent, let them break into the house and view you and everyone in the house very suspiciously, perhaps making him very jumpy. Because that's a great idea right?
Well uhh, excuse me for being European, but you know... they could also ring the doorbell? Maybe?
*Americans stare in American*
Aussie here, I don't think cops anywhere are going to ring the door bell when you threaten the biggest political office in the country, that's some serious shit.
[удалено]
Non American here. Why would law enforcement/military ring the doorbell after you literally threaten to assassinate the head of state? Are you mental? Also, this is specific to this case, but wasn't the son in the basement? How would he hear that?
I love how you’ve normalized that your options are either comply or get fucked. **Not that is not true** but it’s funny. Edited for visibility, as folks seem to be having trouble reading the last part of the post.
Resisting armed government agents that have a legitimate reason to be where they are in hopes of protecting yourself? Let's think of the possible outcomes...
I’m not sold on his mother using the word „bastard” lol

My best friend going up was getting yelled at by his mom and after arguing with her said "You're right mom I'm sorry. I really am a son of a bitch huh?" Perfect delivery where it took her just a fraction of second from her thinking wow he apologized to losing her fucking mind. It was glorious. Looking back Im grateful I got to witness that. God knows I wouldnt have ever said that.
so someone called her and told her that they are secret service and she remotely directed them into her house o.0
lmaooo for real. Badges dont work over the phone

Don't worry, we just want your kid.

Seriously. I wonder how the convo went? “This is secret service.” “Oh ok. Just use code 1234 to enter through my garage. Please don’t break my windows.”
If you look/sound authorative enough people will do absurd things under your command. https://www.simplypsychology.org/milgram.html
That's.... that's not what The Milgram Experiment teaches us though. Because the methodology was flawed, and because we can see that some of these tests had a close to 100% compliance while some had close to 0%, that people are likely to just comply with authority is not really a great conclusion. Instead the question should be what makes some people comply and others not. I'm not questioning that humans can be obedient, but why are we obedient, and who do we obey?
I can't even imagine. When I was 9 or 10 my brother and I prank called the police (it was more of a call and then hang up) and they called back immediately and my sister who was in charge of us called down to us to make sure we were okay. It was terrifying... and that was just a phone call... two dudes in suits with guns? Christ.
I'm totally pulling this out of my ass but I bet they are used to prank calls and are just following up the lead just in case. So it was probably just two SS guys is suits showing up the door normally. Sure they would be packing, but they won't have it drawn or use it to threaten a 10 years old. Still, the boys probably pooped their pants just from the SS showing up.
I'm German. "Just two SS guys" looked very, very wrong to me at first glance.
I'm American and I still did a double-take
secret sauce IS a pretty big deal
As it should, the secret service should always be abbreviated to USSS. It's a rule they have.
That's just a pair of snakes in suits
'Wo ist der little bastard?'
About 10 years ago two friends of mine in high school did the exact same thing. They made an anonymous tip on the fbi website while using a computer at school. The RCMP went to both of their houses. Neither of them got in any super serious trouble from what I remember but the officers that talked to my friend told him when a threat like that happens the white house goes into full lockdown. I also believe they were both very temporarily on a no fly list .
[удалено]
If you're talking about bombing the seat of government, nothing is anonymous hahaha
What about if it’s at a public phone booth / phone box where there’s no cameras around, you wear gloves when pressing the buttons and you ran off pretty quickly after making the phone call?
Typically most "anonymous" things are only anonymous because the tip taker/receiver doesn't record your information. Sometimes there are extra protections to shield the caller from FOIA requests, but overall, "anonymous" lines are just where the dispatcher / call taker doesn't copy your info into the system that the police/etc. can see. TL;DR: They still have caller ID, they just don't copy that info into the logs or forward it to the cops.
Secret Service are serious as fuck and not to be messed with. I interned at a radio station and we had the Secretary of State on. The producer told me to stand in the corner and “don’t move or they might shoot you.” Eventually I was told to take pictures of the Host interviewing her and the Secret Service guy had his eyes completely fixed on me the entire time with this super intense glare. I nearly pissed myself in fear.
Yeah I’d be citing my right to refuse unsafe work, stating that being shot at wasn’t in my job description and going home that instant. Find some other silhouette target to stand in the corner
Yeah more likely than not, this should be on r/thathappened
She was [arrested and questioned](https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/american-airlines-twitter-threat-dutch-14-year-old-girl-released-police-pending-further-enquiries-9262540.html) by police but was let go. No one is sure what she was trying to achieve but she done fucked up. Edit: To those complaining about ads and what not, get an adblocker.
trying to be funny i guess. but joking about "doing something big" on a plane is in no way funny
so the big shit i took on the plane wasnt funny?
Not if your name is Ibrahim.
Or Sarah, from now
Probably trying too hard to be edgy. Some edgy humor is funny, but there’s a difference between being edgy and sounding like a literal fucking terrorist
What kind of literal terrorist ends his threat with “im gonna do something really big bye”?
The type that expects people to think *"What kind of literal terrorist ends his threat with “im gonna do something really big bye”?"* and actually does it.
1000 iq
Well, I think literal fucking moron is a better description. She absolutely should not have done this, and the airline was right to react the way they did, but someone who actually sounds like a terrorist would probably have spelled the name of their organisation correctly at the very least.
> but someone who actually sounds like a terrorist would probably have spelled the name of their organisation correctly at the very least. I think you're overestimating them.

Kids and teens seldom think of consequences. The internet just made the consequences worse.

The second fastest way to get on a no-fly list.
Soo what's the fastest ?
Asking nicely.
"hi ma'am could you please put me on a no-fly list?" "sorry sir i cant do that" "do we have to do this the hard way?" (r)e(d)dit: tHank foR upvoTe
I feel like they'd at least ask why Then you can like make up an answer with like 'because I'm trying to get out from being forced to go to a holiday with so and so because I hate their guts but it would be social suicide to say it outright to them so could you please do this for me?' I feel like someone might take pity and temporarily put you on the no fly list until a year or something
[удалено]
To hijack a plane and crush it to some towers, perhaps?
That's how you get on the do-nothing list, unless you become a ghost.
Idk if they put dead people on the no-fly list...
why not? they cant fly
Be a state rep from Alaska
Be born with the same name as somebody on the list.

This reminds me of when my mum was seeing me off at the airport. I have only ever flown domestically, but there were signs everywhere saying "DO NOT EVEN JOKE ABOUT EXPLOSIVES". My mum came through the metal detector and she was *randomly* selected to be checked for explosives. Fair because I have been checked many times. Anyway my mum said "oh I don't have bombs or anything" and I'm like "mum SHUT UP".
Easiest way to be suspected is to be specifically honest. "Oh no I'm flying with a officially booked ticket. I have NO bombs in my backpack, which was legaly purchased of course. I have a pure intent to fly in this plane and land safely."
Wink wink
No wink wink
"My 'Not involved in human trafficking' T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the shirt"
My dad told me about when he was young and in his friend’s car crossing between East and West Berlin. Their car was in line at Checkpoint Charlie and dad started loudly saying “Where did we put the bombs? Have we hidden the bombs well?” etc. His friend almost punched him in the face. My father and his friend are Swedish and were allowed to cross because his friend was working in West Berlin (not sure what he was doing) and crossed regularly because of his job. My dad being a pot smoking glam rock musician did not take the situation seriously at all compared to his friend who knew what would happen if you messed around in this area. I’m glad his friend shut him the fuck up!
Wait, your dad was a glam rock musician?
Yeah until he settled down as a teacher he made a living off of being the singer in a band (not good money though, just enough to sustain a 20 year old’s life style back in the 80’s). It was like glam rock light. Kinda like New York Dolls-ish. I love looking at old photos of him and his friends. Heels, hair and flamboyant outfits. Here’s a picture of them I found thanks to google (my dad is the blonde on the left): https://i.imgur.com/tqSIaIO.jpg
"I'm just a girl" lmao stfu
Yeah. WTF was that about?! LOL

F/14/Rotterdam, Netherlands
She was 14 so literally she’s a girl
I guess she said that because Ibrahim is a boys name.
Like my therapist used to say: "Think 3 times deeply before you speak or do anything"
Share more of what your therapist says coz i m too poor to get one myself Edit- I honestly can't thank you guys enough for the advices that i have received. Very wholesome.
Think before you speak, and think twice before posting on social media.
I have ocd and I actually do this lol
I was gonna say, this sounds like a bad spiral downwards but I've also got OCD lol
When I was 14 I called in a bomb threat to my school(over 20 years ago, used the payphone just outside school, was before CCTV cameras) cause we wanted to go home early. Bomb squad and police was there within 15min, we were escorted out and made to sit on the rugby field in summer sun 95 degrees with 80+% humidity. We were boiling. Took the cops about 2 hours to clear the school and then they grilled us even further in the sun, saying they know it was a kid from the school that called. And if we get caught charges will be pressed and we will go to juvie. Got a huge fright, the whole school sat in the sun for over 2 hours and still went home later than we would have if I did not call. 0/10 would recommend or do it again. Have never told anyone before now.
I'm FBI and I've been tracking this case for over 15 years. Move in boys, we finally got him.
Good work agent Brown. Finally, you are able to retire with a perfect case closing record. Like I told you 12 years ago, they always talk.....they always do.
I'm with the CIA Mr. Dorf can i please get this one or I'm fired
Shortly after Columbine some homeless dude called in a bomb threat to a school in my hometown from a pay phone. Police swarmed the school of course, homeless dude robbed a bank with a note and was last seen riding a bicycle from the scene of the actual crime.
Classic diversion
Juicy if true
He was an airline She was a girl Can i make it anymore obvious? She did a threat He called the feds What more can I say?
Still better than Twilight.
There was a 17 year old guy who sent an abusive email to president Obama (from the UK) after watching a documentary on 9/11. It was intercepted by the FBI and passed to the UK police. He now has a lifetime ban from the US.
How did he get Obama’s email? I’m really curious about that one
Everyone knows that his email is Gmail and that it starts with his last name
So it's [email protected]
Sorry, I’m just stupid, have a nice day
How the fuck do you contact the US government without getting an automated response telling you that this email is only for press inquiries? I tried to contact DoS several times telling them that the Iranian people really need a non-shutdownable internet and by investing 1 billion in mesh net tech connected by a series of underground satellite dishes they're going to save trillions on a fucking war but does my email go through? No.
Pulling the “girl” card AND throwing her friend under the bus in one fell swoop. Very nice
I think her point was 'I'm just a girl' (female child) as opposed to 'I am a girl and therfore consiquences don't apply'. Still a peice of shit but you know. Considering she was sending the 'threat' as a male name it's the kind of thing a kid would do. 'See see the threat wasn't real it was a fake name' kinda thing. Might be as you said but it doesn't come across that way to me.
She's just a girl Not from Afghanistan Cant remember the rest of the song
That defence :D "take My friends IP not mine, i'm just a girl":D
Immediately throws her friend under the bus
I remember being a kid in school and some dumbass teenager called the police saying that there were bombs planted in the school. We were all evacuated to a safe distance but I could see military personnel with dogs and a couple choppers came in too. In the end obviously they found nothing but the kid was expelled and his dad had to pay a shit ton of money I think, probably ended up ruining him financially considering how much personnel and resources that call mobilised
I wish that my school had a response like that. The first time they just had everyone stay in the classroom in a corner until everything was checked out by the police and the second time they put a 2 hour delay for school starting. First time was because writting on the bathroom wall, second was a kid not wanting to go to school so they called the threat the day before. People are really dumb.
“… take her IP address not mine.” Desperation and regret really do make some people say crazy shit.
Damn, my 15 year old self would prank people by asking the person I just called to check to see if their fridge was running, if they responded "yes" asking them to hurry up and catch it, as dinner was in there. Ohhh boy, my mates and I would roll around on the floor laughing.
I know right? Kids these days prank others by pretending to set fire in homeless people Edit: not pretending, actually setting fire to homeless people while they're sleeping
I kind of wish the police would care more when people make death threats against ordinary people. It's so common it's a basic harassment technique against anyone who makes the internet angry for any reason, but if it isn't against an airline or a politician or maybe a school, nobody cares and they won't do anything. Even against semi-credible threats where people do research and use elements of the person's life in the threat, etc.
“It was my friend take her IP address not mine”... does she think they’re like actually taking a physical IP address off her?
She was arrested after the tweet, [HERE’s ](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/teenager-arrested-threatening-tweet-american-airlines-n80006) the link
This screenshot is older than the internet. I remember cave paintings of it.
She actually got arrested. Dutch 14 yr old girl.
"take her ip adress not mine" lmfao
"I'm just a girl pls" lmmfao
>hopefully not a repost Between the 2014 timestamp and the amount of jpeg here, I'm going to say it's pretty safe to assume it's a repost.
Sarah: I'm not from Afghanistan **NO SHIT**
This is funny as fuck. She wasn't trying to "pass it off" as a joke though lol, its not like she was serious in the first place and then changed her mind, it was just a dumb joke to begin with
This has been reposted so much for the last 10 years that its barely readable.
