he wrote "On my way to blow up the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban)." in a private group chat on snap chat
...a private group chat. Nothing stupid like posting it on xitter or other public place.
Its a fucking in-joke. Do I need to worry about what I say to my friends now in private and worry about what my friendly local government spy would think about it... ?
All this invasion of privacy all these years and all they have to show for it are a few false positives.
In general I agree, but there's no privacy on airport Wi-Fi. And very little at an airport in general.
I wouldn't expect my data to be secure, but I wouldn't expect to be prosecuted as if I had willfully made it a public statement.
