Things you should never, ever do.
Remember our discussion of social networks? There isn’t much to say about this, except advise you to learn a valuable lesson from this teenager’s mistake: Don’t ever tweet a terroristic threat to an international airline, it will never have a happy ending.
You see that up there? That’s a tweet that a grossly misguided teenager from The Netherlands sent to American Airlines, and their response. Suddenly, she realized she had screwed up, as she subsequently blew a gasket in return.
And, with a different username, she blocked the FBI and deleted her tweets just to be safe – it’s like she and they never existed!
She wasn’t arrested nor did the FBI get involved, she turned herself in when the whole world started commenting on the wisdom of such an ill-informed prank. To be fair, she’s a 14 year-old girl, and at that age very few people, regardless of gender, always make the best decisions.
I am so glad there was no public Internet when *I* was 14.
