> Yelling "I HAVE A BOMB!" in an airport comes with consequences.

It's not the speech itself that's illegal, it's the fact that they made everyone nearby aware they could have the means to mass murder everyone around them. People will obviously react to that by taking down the potential threat.

That's a convoluted way of saying "You have a freedom of speech but not after the speech"

  • It's more like the content of the speech matters. If you tell someone you're going to kill them, it becomes self defense if they kill you before that happens.
