Don’t joke about terrorism. It’s not really smart. And, it can create a lot of issues. Airlines have to contact the FBI. Things get messy. Most people know not to make such a gaff. Some don’t. Apparently, Twitter user @queendemetriax is one of those people.
This person tweeted the following and American Airlines quickly responded to the threat:
However, a Twitter spokesperson claims they could not have gotten that information. Because of that, American Airlines deleted the response. By the way, if you look up an IP address from a Twitter account, you get the virtual coordinates for Twitter’s headquarters.
