Commit a hoax with a runaway balloon: get into trouble. Joke about blowing up an airport: get into trouble. So I'd guess the way to get into really BIG trouble is to combine the two. Joke about blowing up a balloon. And whatever you do don't say it's for a party, or they'll investigate to find out which parties you might be clandestinely connected with.

Hey, I didn't actually say I'd blow up a balloon. I just made a remark about blowing up a balloon. It was a joke! OK, maybe not the world's best joke, but I'm not planning to blow any balloons up. Honest. I don't want to blow anything up. Please don't shoot! I'm sorry! I won't do it again!

Now, am i going to be arrested next time I tell my son I am going to kill you? I've heard the saying "te mato" my whole life, frustrated mothers telling their kids. Let's keep it real. The father of a potential terrorist alerting of his son's suspicious behavior and friends wasn't enough to get things moving...a regular citizen, frustrated, venting on Twitter, all this fuss. Give me a brake!
