I get she was frustrated. I get this was a joke. You don't make bomb jokes in line at the TSA either. She may have overestimated the degree of privacy her DMs had. That's also on her. Other e2e encrypted services are available to make the crass jokes. But if one of the three recipients had also failed to get the joke, a Signal chat would've sufficed to get those deputies showing up as well. And one shouldn't expect that a company, even of dwindling importance as Snapchat, won't do everything in their power to cover their asses. Imagine if this teacher did go amok and they flagged it but did nothing.

She wasn’t in line at the TSA, regardless of what snapchats fine print says she had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

You don’t make bomb jokes in line at the TSA either. For several years, I was commuting by plane and I made a joke there, every time, always the same joke, about having a weapon. Later, I stopped doing that when I saw they were different people there. The frustrated and underpaid kind.

So… what you’re saying is that using a smartphone is equivalent to being in the airport security line. That is a disturbing point of view.
