US bars friends over Twitter joke

I'm wondering how they matched up his Twitter account to his real identity?

Have no more fear, your country is safe from all terrorists who tweet about their plans.

Truthfully, I wouldn't have expected this from America, they're the kind of jokes I could imagine myself making on Twitter, but will be careful not to before future trips there..

This is pretty much what I think of when going to China, and what makes me specially careful not to say anything the Chinese could take as a threat. Heh, last time I went we were doing some IPTV streaming from an event, and where given a list of words which, if anyone said on air, would have us all deported within hours.

edit: To people complaining about The Sun - yes, it's a crappy rag, but this is basically a story that no news outlet would hear of unless the people involved sold/gave their story, and there's no reason they wouldn't go to The Sun, where they could reasonably expect to get a little more $$$ than if they went to the BBC.

If the sun is really the best source for that information, then I'm not sure it's to be believed.

US is beginning to remind me of Soviet Union

I don't know what else to say then people like those border agents and the incredible stupidity they seem to posses are a bigger danger to humanity than anyone else could ever be.

It's so ridiculous that it's not even funny anymore and I for one will not conduct business with, nor visit the US before things change for the better there.

They have to treat their own people better as well as visitors, not only the rich.

I know there are still worse countries, but only just, and it's never a good thing to measure oneself against bad examples.
