American Airlines once received a tweet from someone with the Twitter handle @QueenDemextriax_, reading in part, “I’m part of Al Qaida and on June 1st I’m gonna do something really big.” The airline promptly replied to the tweet, saying the user’s IP address and details had been forwarded to security and the FBI.
What followed was a complete meltdown that gained the Twitter user 30,000 followers. “I’m so sorry I’m scared now,” she tweeted. Then, “Why would I blow up one of your planes, I have my own jet.” And finally, “I blocked the FBI just in case.”
