Caution on Twitter urged as Britons barred from US

Holidaymakers have been warned to watch their words after two British friends were refused entry to the US on security grounds after a tweet.

Before his trip, Leigh Van Bryan wrote that he was going to "destroy America".

He insisted he was referring to simply having a good time - but was sent home.

Trade association Abta told the BBC that the case highlighted that holidaymakers should never do anything to raise "concern or suspicion in any way".

The US Department for Homeland Security picked up Mr Bryan's messages ahead of his holiday in Los Angeles.

I wonder What's worse, being refused entry for an innocent tweet, or the fact that the American Secret Service monitors every electronic message in the world ??
