Twitter trolling, should it be punishable?

Thing is, they never will get past security!

In this case there isn't even the exception to the rule. The security is super tighten, nothing will ever happen. I've been flying quite a lot since I moved to Scotland and not only Edinburgh-Lisbon, I've been to like 5 airports since I moved here, and in every single one of them, there is no way a gun would not be detected. X-ray of bags, checking if you beep in those beepy things.. One time they asked me to open my bag because it was too full and could not see everything properly. They have also asked me to take off my timberland boots and some of them were talking about a lady's bad that had an object that looked like a gun and then it was just a beauty product or whatever. Unless they create an object in like paper or plastic, that can go unnoticed glued to your skin and actually manages to hurt people, there is no way something like that will happen.

Obviously will as they have before.

Obviously will as they have before.

Please tell me when then because that's what I've been asking since my first post in this thread.

What I've learned from this thread is that making bomb threats is a civil liberty and security checks are worse than racism

Flight crew need to be granted access for meals, refreshments etc, but can only be let in by the pilot I think? Although that sounds wrong, because I'm sure I read something about a flight attendant trying to fly a plane once when the pilots were unconscious...

14th of August 2005, the cabin pressurization failed so the crew fell unconscious. The plane flew to its destination on autopilot and assumed a holding pattern there until a flight attendant with a commercial pilot's license woke up and climbed into the cockpit.

If it bothers them that much, the account should just block the troll or get them banned

[wordofwisdom]

twitter trolls have been sent to jail

14 year old dutch girl been arrested for trolling american airlines

is it TOO MUCH?

In my opinion if it's not serious them yeah it does go alittle to far but if it gets beyond a joke like death threats bomb scares or very abusive them i'd take action

If she has been taken to prison that really is ridiculous, a thorough search of her residence, known family and close friends' houses aswell as her electronics surely would have discovered this was just a bored teenager sitting at a bus stop. Its far too easy to tweet something like that. But, for something which can severely jeopardize the safety of thousands, the necessary precautions need to be taken.

[KJK]

Depends. If the trolling is threatening someone's safety online, action should be taken. Threats should never be joked about. Obviously there will always be trolls, however.

It would be incredibly stupid to allow firearms on flights, especially for passengers.
