So you're just here, where it's easier for the FAA to find you when they weren't even looking?
He couldn't dig up Marilyn Monroe. She's in a crypt.
That would make her "encrypted"?
The people responsible for these arrests and expulsions are self-important idiots.
But, I just really couldn't care less what some girl i barely knew in high school made for dinner last night, nor do I care to see pictures of it.
When does the USA become a police state?
Shouldn't you have phrased that when "did"?
Approx 1933 is when it started.
In their intended context it wasn't inane. If they said "I'm going to party like never before in America" this would be a non issue. What's the diff in expressing the same in that way.Imagine a world where your words have a consequence and people actually thought about things for 12 seconds before blathering inane crap to the world.

May be right at that- I wonder if the railroad and telegraph allowed federal intrusion on the states, due to rapid communication and transportation, to the point that they were one of the causes of the Civil War.Long before that, back to the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution at least.

Just a hypothesis on my part with nothing to back it up. I doubt you could have a revolt now since the government could mine data and nip it in the bud.
WhendoesDID the USA become a police state?
Ted, I gotta disagree. I understand that scanning emails, tweets, etc. for information can be a valuable tool for detecting suspicious activities but by itself a comment uttered in any fashion whether a letter to the editor of the NY Times, a post on PoA, or an overseas phone call to a friend/co-conspirator shouldn't ever be sufficient "evidence" of any sort of misdeed. If twenty people hear me shout "I'm gonna break your neck" at you during an argument (just kidding TSA), I have not committed any crime unless you were recently elected POTUS. Of course if you turn up dead the next day with a fractured spinal cord I'd expect to be questioned about my activities at the time of your demise, but even then I don't think my outburst by itself would be enough for an indictment, let alone a conviction.Out of context or not, that was pretty well asked for. I can't blame DHS for this. They ought to know the American definition there, and think for a second prior to Tweeting.
Now, the fact that we are paying an organization to sift through Tweets and add those people to the watch list in the first place? That part is an absurd waste of my tax dollars.

Ps, if that really did happen, Ted probably had it coming because he was going to sprinkle the wings of your plane with "deice" pellets..
Ok Ted... Que up the famous pic please....
Well, they do track Piper twins and send the cops out just for fun...
Depends on where you are, doing so in Delaware and other states this may well land you in trouble. Depends mostly whether Ted felt threatened by your conduct:
11 Del. C.§ § 621 Terroristic threatening; class G felony; class A misdemeanor; penalties.
(a) A person is guilty of terroristic threatening when he or she commits any of the following:
(1) The person threatens to commit any crime likely to result in death or in serious injury to person or property; or
The first amendment is not absolute, none of them is.
Non-citizens aren't entitled to come visit at their leisure, and can be denied entry for any reason.
I guess I wasn't clear. In my scenario Ted and I were still friends and as he pointed out, he didn't take the threat seriously nor did I intend it to be taken that way. I was trying to make it similar to the tweets that got the couple in trouble.
Right, but as friends we can take license which such statements. I suspect that you wouldn't walk up to some large man who looks like a bouncer and say the same thing, joking or otherwise.
