Wow, bold type and everything!!

Any self-respecting investigator, and superior official, should have quickly realized that this was a harmless joke.

Au contraire, my FRiend. US government communication monitoring systems are programmed to look for certain words. "Destroy" is among those words. They don't look for context or slang, they are just computers monitoring for certain words. When those words are detected, it sends an alert that gets other people excited and ends up (as in this case) with an arrest!

It isn't MY system, it is the government's "cradle-to-grave" nanny-state system. If you want to blame someone for this, blame Obama, Bush, Clinton, the Congress and Norman Minetta who refused to allow the TSA to profile the terrorists who want to kill us!

Check again, my FRiend. You are correct in fact, but wrong in assumption and conclusion. It was not the "communication system" that threw these innocent people in jail and forced these innocent people (of the allegations) on a plane out of this country.

It was assertive HUMAN and AUTHORITARIAN DECISION-MAKING APPROVAL THAT USED "communications system" information-gathering data. If you can't tell the difference, then you also help me make the point that I was trying to make with that gentlelady.
