she threatened a bombing.. post patriot act its a crime (terror threat)... everything else becomes irrelevant.
For those saying Free speech... I actually agree with you but here is a good example of why the no fly no buy idea is stupid... eventually no matter how good the intentions bureaucrats will expand the scope of the idea to increase their own authority.

Thats not exactly how freedom of speech works.
You are not free to threaten or incite violence.
If she were just ranting about gays possibly. However there is a distinction in the law for inciting violence.

Just her freedom of speech. She isn't hurting anyone.
You don't yell fire in a crowded theatre.
