Angry Traveler Tweets About Bombs, Gets Arrested

Just a hint for those of you who aren’t in the know: Talking about bombing your local airport for ANY reason is probably not a great idea. With that said, Paul Chambers is a moron.. and he’s British to boot, so that’s strike two (Just kidding you crazy Brits, I love you guys and your crumpets and tea). Apparently while traveling by plane, Paul was stuck in an airport due to weather conditions. Pissy and probably drunk, he tweeted

“Crap! Robin Hood airport is closed. You’ve got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high.”

Fast forward to January 13th, when the local police decided to pay him a visit with a paper copy of the tweet. I’m sure you can guess the rest of what happened. Paul was arrested, interrogated, and locked up under the World Terrorist Act until his trial date of February 11th. Along with that, the tweet was deleted, and his computers and iPhone were taken for evidence.

I’d like to make three key points here. One, Paul is a moron. Two, this is my 100th post. Yay me. And three, while I think it’s sad that this exploded (Yeah, I went there) into what was obviously just a frustrated traveler, I think if you’re stupid enough to post on the Internet a bomb threat, you should expect that an equally stupid agency should put the smack down on your ass.

Strike three, Pauly.
