If you threaten to blow up an airport, you'll face jail time. According to the Washington State Court of Appeals, that's true even if you're mentally ill and the threat is not considered credible.
Back in 2009, James S. Ballew called 911 and, after asking to speak with a specific officer with the Port of Seattle Police, told the dispatcher he had five friends who had placed bombs in and around Sea-Tac Airport.
The call was traced to Harborview Medical Center’s psychiatric ward.
