Bomb squads sweep Atlanta airport, fighter jets scrambled after threats on Twitter
source RT:

NORAD fighter jets reportedly escorted two flights to the ground after authorities received separate “credible” bomb threats via Twitter. Bomb squads are sweeping the planes, which landed safely in Atlanta, and passengers are being evacuated.

Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia, was partly shut down Saturday after Delta flight 1156 and Southwest flight 2492 landed there safely, and bomb squads with canine units were sent to search the planes for explosives.

All "they" have to do is "say" a "credible threat" was made and "they" can, and will, do whatever "they" want to do.

A terrorist can use a bomb as a threat to the crew / passengers to gain control of the aircraft. The fighter jets are there in case a hijacker decides to recreate 911. That is, to shot the plane down before it becomes a missile.

The fighter jets were obviously scrambled AFTER the Twitter threat was substantiated no twitter itself couldn't scramble an egg

Imagine if it had been something really dangerous,,,


like bees.


According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the average American is as likely to be crushed to death by televisions or furniture as they are to be killed by a terrorist. In fact, between 2000 and 2010, 293 Americans died because a television, furniture piece or appliance fell on them, 55 more than died of terrorism between 2001 and 2011. Likewise, an average of more than 40 Americans are killed each year because of allergic reactions to stings by bees, wasps and hornets.

Since 9/11, a total of 238 American citizens have died from terrorist attacks, or an average of 24 per year, although only 15 Americans died in 2010 and 17 in 2011—none of them in the United States and almost all of them in Afghanistan or Iraq.

You're forgetting Ft Hood, Virginia Tech (unsure if that classifies as terrorism but the former does), etc. Meaning a minimum of 12 deaths and a maximum of nearly 40.

Well you just know its true if its posted on twitter and twitter actualy sends the tweet to hundreds of people.

Twitter has become a joke with bots doing most of the tweets that are mixed in with adverts and propaganda the state wants you to read.

Tweet something from one account and then pick a new IP address and login from a second account to see that many of your tweets never see the light of day.

We are seeing an over reaction again in the US and one more step towards the police state.
