Today, for a brief second, I thought of a life without Roger. It was much like my current life, except that this forum was a bit nicer.

OH NO I GUESS I'LL NEVER BE ALLOWED TO HOLIDAY IN THE US NOW

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16810312

QuoteHolidaymakers have been warned to watch their words after two British friends were refused entry to the US on security grounds after a tweet.

Before his trip, Leigh Van Bryan wrote that he was going to "destroy America".

He insisted he was referring to simply having a good time - but was sent home.

Trade association Abta told the BBC that the case highlighted that holidaymakers should never do anything to raise "concern or suspicion in any way".

The US Department for Homeland Security picked up Mr Bryan's messages ahead of his holiday in Los Angeles.

The 26-year-old bar manager wrote a message to a friend on the micro-blogging service, saying: "Free this week, for quick gossip/prep before I go and destroy America."

I for one am glad that they are monitoring twitter in order to catch these dangerous publican terrorists.

Careful, Trip. If you talk about shoving things in people's faces you won't be able to go back to the States.  :sad:

This is what will happen if you staff your border security exclusively with ultraparanoid retards. Of course I'm given the impression that that description would apply to, what, 99.99% of you population? I guess it's inevitable. And also very hilarious. I wonder how long until every facebook and twitter update is treated as a serious terrur threat  :evil:

I know this is going to sound naive and silly, but I'm still trying to figure out what prompted the DHS to look at his tweets in the first place?  CARNIVORE?

(Hey, anyone still have that massive text file of red-flag words?)

You're ignoring a far more hideous possibility, LMNO.

What if there's tens of thousands of fatass people who sit around the internet all day, "helping out" by reporting every unpatriotic thing they see on the internet?

This isn't about anyone thinking this man is a real threat, being ultraparanoid or anything of the sort.

This is about sending a message. That message is: We Are In Charge. Dissent Will Not Be Tolerated.
