WoW player threatens to blow up airliner

An 18-year-old WoW player from Greenwood got himself into a bit of a mess after he threatened to blow up a commercial airliner.

The confused teen issued the threat while playing WoW Monday morning, and a facilitator for WoW got in touch with authorities after noticing the threats.

After the men in cheap suits and sunglasses showed up, he said that he didn't do it and that someone had hacked into his PC. Obviously the agents didn't buy this story, and eventually the teen admitted to making the threat.

He said it was al a joke and that he was just trying to see if it would bring police to his house. He didn't believe it would, but it did, and the FBI could even file federal charges against him, for being lonely.
