You and I can argue whether the police are justified
in arresting you (they either arrest you or not- there
is no grey area) for saying the word 'bomb' until our
fingers fall off. FYI the original circumstance i had
in mind is that if you're having a normal
conversation, say about a book, and you say the word
'bomb', you become a suspect.

Well - not exactly. Arrest is a formal process I think. To ask you to step
aside an airport and explain your language use would not qualify in and of
itself as an arrest. If you were really just having a casual conversation, a
few quick questions and appropriate actions would clear things up and you
would be on your way. This is a minor inconvenience, not a major infringement
on your rights.
