    My first thought is what is the point of sending fighter jets to deal with a bomb threat?

    “Don’t you blow up this plane, or else… we’ll blow up this plane.”

    So, wait a minute. This kid makes a private joke among friends, and his message is intercepted by security services and obviously taken out of context (in that they failed to realize he was privately joking among friends).

    Seems to me that the security forces should eat the cost of this. This is the price you pay for spying on everyone and overreacting.

    The kid didn’t say this publicly

      Is anyone stupid enough to think that Snapchat is private? Honest question. It’s still a social media platform.

        What should happen if there is an explicit threat by a passenger to blow up a plane? Just hope it’s a joke because it seems like one?

        EDIT: As usual, lots of downvotes, but no actual answer to the question.
