Two hackers get kicked out of Hack the North for clock bomb jokes on Facebook (news.mlh.io)

That's worse than arresting a kid for a clock you think is a bomb.

Also, whenever this kind of thing happens, people claim that "someone didn't feel safe". I don't believe it for a second. When you have to lie to justify something that tells you that you're in the wrong.

It appears that the manufacture of offense is a growth industry. Booming, in fact.
