So, basically, what we have here is a Cartman wannabe. LoL!

FBI investigating 'credible' bomb threats at Atlanta airport

So they have decided this guy is the real deal? Quite fast work. If so then Twitter users must already be tracked by the NSA so that instant access can be made into their life.

The hole thing is crazy I have no clue just opinions.

I wonder how long it will take to catch him?

Now he is talking about playing GTA V...
Some kid just screwed up his own life completely.

That deserves an epic facepalm!

*SMACK*

No they decided it was something to take seriously as actual flight numbers were given.

McEntire Joint National Guard Base in South Carolina?
Looks a lot like Nellis AFB in Nevada.
Is there more to this story?

Well, from the looks of his twitter, I think they might of figured out who he is:

I predict within 5 years from now, it will become illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to have a Twitter account...

I'm still unclear why a tweet that references flight numbers is a "credible threat". Idiots say things all the time on social media I would expect. They're giving those planes a proctology exam it sounds like...and the passengers. Wouldn't it have to be more than a tweet...but dot connecting a passenger on one of the flights to the Twit or something else?

Because it could have been a passenger on a previous flight leaving something. It's been done a lot in the past. If they don't take it seriously and it's real, a plane full of people die.

Trust me...I'm happy for the diligence...but I'm trying to get to the bottom of how real this is. I've got to fly out of Hartsfield Tuesday. I'd like to know if the S is HTF here.

a reply to: Losonczy

It's just some idiot online playing games.

At this point ,anyone who makes threats, even as 'fun', deserves what ever wrath the government brings down on them.

I don't mind stupid people, I do mind screwing with others rights.

a reply to: Losonczy

It'll probably take them until Tuesday to clear all those thousands of police cars and trucks and fire trucks outta there. You should be okay

ETA: Pretty good local video HERE at the moment. Not sure how long it'll last here. Interview with FBI special agent in charge.

Yeah NORAD is called in,unless the date is 9/11.

Actually NORAD was called on 9/11 several times, however half of the command structure seemed to have went inexplicably AWOL that day with no way of contacting them.

And they wonder why so many people question the events of that day?

a reply to: Zcustosmorum

Actually it was Cheney that gave the order for them to stand down,and he repeated it several times with them asking if they should do something now?

I wonder what this guy's ATS username was/is? I dont question IF he was a member here, he has the right amount of crazy, I just want to know who so I can star his posts.

Well with the fact that Hartsfield/Jackson had this happen within the last month...

According to an FBI’s agent’s affidavit filed Dec. 19 in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, NYPD investigators arrested Mark Quentin Henry on Dec. 10 after he flew from Atlanta to New York. Henry had 18 handguns in a carry-on bag, seven of them loaded.

I would imagine any threat whether it be legit or just an idiot making this type of threat they will be taken seriously.

Nah, just better internet security will be fine. Besides, look how well organized our security state has become. I'd say pretty rock solid. Between all the scenes playing out in the media of America's "finest" preparedness, I'd say we're just about there.

It's understandable to ensure security (nudge, nudge). Someone posted that these threats and stupid # is posted in social media all the time. Which I agree, so what made this so special to bring out NORADS best and brightest?

Why all the camera readiness? Can't we just hire North Koreas crack hacker team (reported to be in the thousands) to find this clown? I'm quite sure they could use the money. No wait, we need Internet security from them too. Better idea, let's register on Twitter with two forms of ID and a valid SS#.
