What does freedom of Speech mean?
Crazy!
ok not a clever thing to post, but very harsh response and by far overkill!

so like the Clash songs says We have the right to free speech as long as no one is stupid enough to actually try it

Yes I have been getting the impression that this site over reacts to easily and interferes a little to much with the question and answers that are posted here ,I have had several violation notices from yahoo when really they should mind their own business and I have told them this, after all, free speech this is UK not some Banana republic where government monitor these sorts of sites

Yep, although I won't be able to check whether you have anything explosive hidden in your underwear when you are posting something on YA...;-)

Headlines like this are becoming more commonplace everyday. I don't know what they're playing at but it sounds sinister. It looks like they're saying 'we're listening to everything you say and can arrest whoever we want, so watch it'. So yes, I suppose it does.
Another day, another civil liberty lost in the name of security. This is a wake-up call to all the 'nothing to hide, nothing to fear' merchants.

Sorry GB, I'm afraid that I have to disagree with you on this one.
Although, at first sight, it looks like an over-reaction, imagine how difficult it would be for the police or security services to get a conviction if any evidence of a bomb threat, bomb hoax or terrorist plot could be dismissed as a "joke".
People who work in security leave their sense of humour at home when they are at work.

The man was a fool. Deserves to get arrested.
By the way, it was a member of the public that reported him to the police.
