If free speech were absolute you could do the following without going to jail:
1) Say you have a bomb at an airport
2) Tell a bank teller that you have a gun
3) Yell fire in a crowded theater
4) Openly commit slander
5) Openly commit libel
6) Say you are going to kill the president on national TV
7) etc
Freedom of speech is not and never has been absolute. Anyone who says it is absolute is completely ignorant on that point.
