Did you read any of the comments below the story? :angry_smile:

A lot of people, apparently are of the opinion that;

1). they are only teenagers and that's what teenagers do....

2). their actions, in calling in multiple bomb threats, are justified because they are trying to show the authorities that the initial response to the first bomb threat was an over-reaction.

3). why would anybody take it seriously anyway since it's on Twitter and is obviously a joke so just relax already.

Actually, my favourite comment was that people should just call in bomb threats to Bieber concerts, etc, to cause the same sort of inconvenience to the teenage demographic as they are causing outside of it.

Not that I encourage that, obviously.

As an example, the California Penal Code states that a bomb threat is punishable by up to one year in prison;

148.1. (a) Any person who reports to any peace officer listed in

Section 830.1 or 830.2, or subdivision (a) of Section 830.33,

newspaper, radio station, television station, deputy district

attorney, employees of the Department of Justice, employees of an

airline, employees of an airport, employees of a railroad or busline,

an employee of a telephone company, occupants of a building or a

news reporter in the employ of a newspaper or radio or television

station, that a bomb or other explosive has been or will be placed or

secreted in any public or private place, knowing that the report is

false, is guilty of a crime punishable by imprisonment in a county

jail not to exceed one year, or pursuant to subdivision (h) of

Section 1170.

(B) Any person who reports to any other peace officer defined in

Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2 that a

guilty of a crime punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not to

exceed one year or pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 if (1)

The article included one "tweet" from a rather bright girl who chose her words much more carefully: "I bake really good pies and my friends call me 'the bomb', am I still allowed to fly” Now if they'd all been like that, their message might have been received in a different light.
