    This is one of those post 9/11 things that really fucked over countless people. I used to work with the homeless and inconsistently homed and the amount of times those people were taken in for “terroristic threats” was obscene

    It depends on the state but generally the laws were hastily passed post 9/11 and give the cops free rein to jail you for saying anything vaguely threatening.
