The next time I have a hellish time in an airport I shall have to be careful what I say (especially on Twitter) :

While it's not a good idea to shout "fire" in a public place the guy was clearly joking and venting his anger, to his friends on a public interweb forum.

I wonder what would happen if a comedian on a satirical television or radio show said the exact same words?

 

"Chamber’s Twitter post was removed, and his laptop, home computer and cell phone were taken away. He was also banned from Robin Hood Airport for life and suspended from his job indefinitely."

Damn, I wonder why they haven't castrated him also, sheesh! Poor guy.
