Marsha Levick, chief legal officer at the Juvenile Law Center in Philadelphia, says even with these statutes, it's difficult to know when something is a real threat.

"We have struggled as a country, across the country, different state laws, trying to articulate the permissible boundaries of how we can punish terroristic threats."

"You don't take a threat lightly anymore"
